What is the GoodWork Toolkit?
The GoodWork Toolkit offers you a framework and materials for raising issues related to ethical, engaging and meaningful work. The Toolkit and other programs originated in the GoodWork project, begun in 1996 by Howard Gardner, Willliam Damon and Mihaly Csikszentmihayli.
How do I use it?
The Toolkit includes resources that can be integrated into your existing curriculum or used in seminars with individual classes, groups or entire schools and organizations. We urge you to contact the GoodWork staff for a consultation to discuss the possibilities available to you.
Who else has used it?
The GoodWork Toolkit has been employed in secondary schools, universities and other organizations throughout the world. Read descriptions of programs and activities that educators at schools such as Noble and Greenough School and Colby College have built from the Toolkit's contents.
What do people say about it?
Experiences based on the Toolkit are provocative, compelling and memorable. See for yourself what participants have to say about them.
How do I get started?
There are many ways to get involved with GoodWork. However you proceed, we think you will find GoodWork and the GoodWork community to be valuable assets to you as an educator or manager.
