To Build Emotional Intelligence in Students, Start With the Adults. SEL Pioneer Marc Brackett Helps Schools Do Both in ‘Permission to Feel’
Now the founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, Brackett runs a social-emotional training program, RULER, that has taught educators and students in more than 2,000 schools what it means to understand and manage their emotions. RULER is now being used by the largest school district in the country, New York City, with its 1.1 million students, and Brackett is helping lead Connecticut’s effort to have the first emotionally intelligent statewide education system.
