Join the Greater Good Educators Program
Greater Good Educators is a research-based professional development program, designed by the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley, to support educators in fostering well-being, connection, and other pro-social values in schools and classrooms. Through Virtual Communities of Practice, participants engage in interactive, three-week learning experiences exploring topics like purpose, empathy, gratitude, self-compassion, kindness, and awe.
Be an educator for the greater good.
Join our monthly Communities of Practice. You’ll explore the science and practical application of personal and collective well-being, empowering you to build kinder, happier schools where students and adults belong and thrive. Each monthly offering is designed by The Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley to help educators like you care for yourself—and the students, colleagues, and communities you serve.
After participating in a monthly Community of Practice, you’ll receive a Greater Good Educators badge along with 5 clock hours of professional development credit from UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center.
If you complete three Communities of Practice (15 hours total), you’ll be eligible to earn one unit of graduate-level credit from the University of the Pacific through Courses4teachers (additional fees apply). Join all 6 Communities of Practice to earn up to two graduate-level units!
