RULER and Emotional Intelligence – Workshops for Parents

Have you been hearing terms like, “Creative Approach”, “Social Emotional Learning”, “The RULER” tool, around school, or from your kids? Pathfinder PTSA has collaborated with our teachers and administration to bring you information and training on Social Emotional Learning.

As part of the ongoing development of the Creative Approach at Pathfinder, Principal David Dockendorf (has since retired) had partnered with Sound Discipline for resources and development around social emotional learning. Social emotional learning is the hallmark of the Creative Approach at Pathfinder and a priority for many families as well. Through David’s collaboration, Sound Discipline conducted educational workshops at our PTSA meetings in 2015.
