As you well know, RULER implementation takes creativity and persistence. After RULER training, the National RULER Implementation Conference is your opportunity to network, learn, and re-engage in the valuable RULER work happening in your school or district. This national gathering is for RULER school and district-level teams seeking to:

Be inspired by dynamic speakers
Hear from other RULER voices in the field
Hone emotional intelligence skills
Renew a commitment to RULER
Strengthen RULER implementation strategies

The National RULER Implementation Conference is specifically designed for RULER-trained attendees beyond their first year of implementation.
