RULER and Reel Learning: On-Demand Fireside Chat
We were honored to welcome Dr. Marc Brackett, Ph.D., founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and creator of the RULER method, to our St. Louis headquarters for an engaging conversation on Social Emotional Learning (SEL).

Joined by Swank President Chris Swank and special guests from K-12 schools, Dr. Brackett explored the role of emotional intelligence in education and the unique ways movies and storytelling can help build empathy, resilience, and whole-student development.
Now you can watch the full conversation on demand. You’ll hear:
- What emotional intelligence is and how it can be applied in educational environments
- Why SEL matters more than ever in schools today
- How film can bring emotional learning to life in classrooms
This is a practical and inspiring discussion for any educator or decision-maker interested in using film to engage students and support emotional intelligence across your school or district.
