Welcome to the K-12 System Dynamics Conversation List hosted by the Creative Learning Exchange.

Purpose:

The cle_k-12discussion@simplelists.com email discussion group provides a forum where all people interested in using system dynamics and systems thinking in k-12 education can discuss problems or share what is going on.

Some topics might include:

• reports of experiences - successes, interesting vignettes, problems, failures
• how best to introduce systems and modeling to students
• how to encourage colleagues to use systems education
• what organizational structures contribute to learner-centered learning
• what classroom techniques work best
• when does the learning curve steepen for students and teachers
• what materials are most effective
• what research would help systems education and learner-centered learning
• what assessment techniques are available and seem effective
• announcements of upcoming workshops and conferences

June 2025

We are announcing the shutting down of the CLE K-12 Listserve after 30+ years. In recent years, there has been little activity and almost no postings. We at the CLE are transitioning to a lower profile and eliminating unnecessary costs. We have enjoyed the contact we have had through this list over the years, especially in the beginning of its existence. If you wish to stay in touch with others who are interested in the use of system dynamics and systems thinking in K-12 education, I would recommend signing up for the Pre-College Special Interest Group of the System Dynamics Society. You do not need to be a member of the SDS to join.
