EMOTIONS MATTER!
At VBS Day School, we understand that emotions matter! Humans are social-emotional beings and emotions are pervasive in our daily lives, affecting how we learn, feel, think, and act. Emotions influence our attention, memory, and learning and can determine how we make decisions, the quality of our relationships, and our physical and mental well-being.
YALE CENTER FOR EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
In partnership with the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, VBS Day School utilizes the RULER Program, an evidence-based approach to social emotional learning, to explicitly teach our students the skills of emotional intelligence. Equipped with emotional intelligence, our students learn to problem solve, build and maintain positive relationships, and develop confidence and competence socially, emotionally, and academically.
RULER is an acronym for the five skills of emotional intelligence that are explicitly taught and woven into our curriculum and school climate:
THE ANCHOR TOOLS OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
The Anchor Tools of Emotional Intelligence are evidence-based tools designed to increase the emotional intelligence of the school community. RULER includes four tools: the Charter, Mood Meter, Meta-Moment, and Blueprint. Each is based on scientific research and helps children and adults develop their emotional intelligence skills.
List of 1 items.
THE FEELING WORDS CURRICULUM
The Feeling Words Curriculum provides students the opportunity to develop a wide-ranging "feelings" vocabulary. A comprehensive and nuanced emotion vocabulary helps students learn and apply the RULER skills of emotional intelligence as students continue to become more aware of their own and others' emotions, understand the causes and consequence of their emotions and hone their ability to regulate emotions and behavior.
