Summer Institute for Educators

For seven years, the Greater Good Science Center brought together educators from all over the world to learn and grow together as part of our Summer Institute for Educators (SIE). In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic required we re-think the way we engage educators in professional development opportunities and we did something we had wanted to do for a number of years: we took the content from our Summer Institute and adapted it to an online environment.

For those interested in attending our summer institute either in past years or in the future, we encourage you to explore our new online course: Teaching and Learning for the Greater Good. 

Currently, we are not planning on offering a 2021 or 2022 in-person Summer Institute for Educators. We are considering new and innovative ways to connect with educators, building on the content in Teaching and Learning for the Greater Good. Subscribe to our newsletter to be the first to hear about upcoming professional development opportunities for educators.

    “Our work with the GGSC has perhaps had a greater influence on our school than any other initiative in the past five years. The Culture of Care that you helped us to develop has had a huge impact, and we are beginning to see real benefits.”

    ― Graeme Scott, Deputy Head of School for Learning, International School of Bangkok
