DynamiQUEST 2001 Guidelines
Students may enter original work or their application of other
work (CLE, CC-STADUS, etc.) This might include a unit, a lesson,
or an application of one or more of the systems tools. The rubrics
will be used by coaches to provide feedback related to students
use of systems tools and development of systems understanding. The
objective is to aim for the standards that apply to the work submitted
for DynamiQUEST 2001, whether it is a BOTG or an extensive project
with a working model. Remember, the philosophy of DynamiQUEST 2001
is to improve student learning by honoring the work of students
as they learn the tools and method of SD/ST. Collaborative projects
are encouraged, but individual projects are welcome too.
What is it?
- A reviewed poster session where students stand by their work
and respond to questions from coaches and visitors
- Students receive feedback from coaches experienced in SD/ST
- An afternoon session where student teams work spontaneously
to solve problems SD/ST tools and present their solutions to the
larger group
Where is it?
Campus Center, WPI
(Worcester Polytechnic Institute), Worcester, Massachusetts. Lunch

stays in a nearby motel or with local families will be coordinated.
