This collaborative action research study examines the effects of the implementation of the RULER approach, an evidence-based approach to social and emotional learning, in combination with Visible Thinking Routines and Global Thinking Routines in Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) classrooms in Head Start Programs in Miami-Dade County. The purpose is to evaluate and advance student progress with the Florida Early Learning and Developmental Standards for four-year-olds as measured by the Florida Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) assessment tool. Teachers in a sample of Head Start VPK classrooms are given ongoing professional development (PD) on the RULER approach and the Visible Thinking and Global Thinking routines. The purpose is to examine the implementation of the RULER approach and these routines, as well as their impact on the four-year-olds’ development of school readiness as assessed by the VPK assessment tool.
