Greater Good Education Program

The Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Education (GGE) program cultivates character strengths and well-being in children and the educators who support them. Its goal is to leverage insights from the science of social, emotional, and ethical well-being to help all members of a school community build a positive climate in which youth and adults can thrive.

Over the past 15 years, GGE has built a robust international audience and a reputation as thought leaders in the field of education. It distinguishes itself by its commitment to both science and practice: The program produces free, research-based multimedia resources that give millions of educators concrete strategies for creating kinder, happier schools—and supports them as they apply these resources in their classrooms, schools, and their own lives.

To better meet busy educators where they are, we've designed our offerings for different levels of engagement, from lower-lift articles and practices to more immersive experiences.

    “We scientists need partnerships with organizations like the GGSC because we’re not experts in reaching loads of people on a regular basis. Providing sustained delivery of content that’s thoughtful, not over-the-top, appropriately measured, and empirically grounded—that’s what the GGSC does better than anybody.”
