Summer Institute for Educators

For seven years, we ran a highly successful Summer Institute for Educators to provide individual educators from all over the world the opportunity to expand their knowledge of the science and practice of prosocial development and, most importantly, to work with other educators to create practical applications of this science in their classrooms and schools.  

In 2025, we launched the Greater Good Schools program, a transformative new program that includes our Summer Institute at UC Berkeley and a year-long community of practice program for sustained support and learning from the experts at the Greater Good Science Center.

    “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.”

    ― Barbara Fredrickson, Ph.D., Kenan Distinguished Professor of Psychology, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
