Social and emotional learning (SEL) is the process of integrating cognition, emotion, and behavior in our lives. In school settings, it involves systemic practices to incorporate SEL into leading, teaching, learning such that adults and children build self- and social awareness, learn to manage their own and other’s emotions and behavior, make responsible decisions, and build positive relationships. Here, we describe RULER, a systemic evidence-based approach to SEL, including its Theory of Change, and key theories that are foundational to the approach. RULER’s implementation model also is described, which involves training for school leaders, educators, and staff; integrating SEL into the curriculum across grade levels; infusing SEL into schoolwide practices and policies; and engaging families and the broader community. RULER’s current and expected outcomes for children and adults are reviewed, including both proximal (e.g., more developed emotion skills and enhanced classroom climate) and distal (e.g., reduced teacher stress and burnout and greater academic performance) outcomes. RULER’s future directions also are discussed.

统治者：社会，情感和学术学习的理论驱动的系统方法

社交和情感学习（SEL）是将认知，情感和行为整合到我们生活中的过程。在学校环境中，它涉及系统的实践，以将SEL融入领导，教学和学习中，这样成人和儿童就可以建立自我和社会意识，学会管理自己和他人的情绪和行为，做出负责任的决定并建立积极的关系。在这里，我们描述RULER，这是SEL的系统化基于证据的方法，包括其变革理论，以及作为该方法基础的关键理论。还描述了RULER的实施模型，其中包括对学校领导，教育工作者和教职员工的培训；将SEL整合到各个年级的课程中；将SEL渗透到学校的实践和政策中；以及家庭和更广泛社区的参与。对RULER对儿童和成人的当前和预期结果进行了评估，包括近端（例如，情绪技能的提高和课堂气氛的改善）和远端（例如，减轻教师的压力和倦怠以及提高学习成绩）的结果。还讨论了RULER的未来方向。
