Program areas at Evolution Institute

East Tampa School By bringing the best of what science tells us about how young minds learn, we launched a K2nd school in 2017 to improve learning outcomes in one of the lowest income communities in Florida. Our mission was to solve the problem of 80% of students failing by third grade in the nearby school. In our first year, the majority of our students achieved grade level or higher. Our students had more than a year's growth and our school was among the better performing schools in the 9th largest school district in the US. The School program was discontinued as of June 30, 3022.
Education Initiative - This project is a longterm commitment to identifying and evolving more viable systems for healthy human learning and education. This involves holding workshops, on the ground communitycentred initiatives (such as VPK and aftercare program), and a collection of essays which demonstrates how evolutionary theory can produce a comprehensive, meaningful science of education.
David Sloan Wilson Projects These projects are lead by EI President David Sloan Wilson and consist primarily of Prosocial. Prosocial is a practical method for improving the efficacy of groups, a scientific database for studying the groups, and a and a means for the groups to communicate with each other and the scientific community.
