Dear Dr. Nathanson:

On behalf of [DISTRICT/SCHOOL] in [TOWN], CT, please accept this letter of support for the “Beyond Bullying Prevention: Building Evidence for School-Based SEL Approach” study. I am writing to express our [DISTRICT/SCHOOL’s] support of the project, an effort of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence.

[DISTRICT/SCHOOL] in [TOWN,CT] has [NUMBER] of middle schools and [NUMBER] of students. Our student body [some information about your school/district students]

As we understand, the beyond bullying prevention study, examines the extent to which RULER (through changes in school environment and individual skill development of both teachers and students) changes the conditions under which bullying is pervasive, and ultimately reduces bullying incidents.

I understand and agree with the timeline and required degree of participation in this endeavor. We are willing to participate in random assignment of schools, which gives each school equal chance of receiving RULER training at the beginning or end of the grant period to create intervention and control groups. We would be willing to take that chance, anticipating that all schools in the study will eventually be offered RULER training.

We believe that RULER will enhance our [DISTRICT/SCHOOL’s] mission and vision and we welcome this opportunity to support the RULER efficacy work. We believe that these efforts will have the potential to have a long-term benefit for our educators, students and their families.

Sincerely,

[NAME]
