| Using Systems Thinking to Develop Literacy Skills |
|
|
Author(s):
Brian Bindschadler |
Subject:
Conference |
| |
In this session, participants will explore various ways to use systems tools to increase deep thinking and literacy in the classroom. We will focus on developing the Habits of a Systems Thinker using the Iceberg Visual, Behavior-Over-Time Graphs, and Stock-Flow diagrams. These tools can be used in any level classroom—from preschool through high school—and beyond. Each tool will be “unpacked” with explanations and examples, and participants will have opportunities to develop their own applications for these powerful literacy tools. |

Mass Audubon’s Drumlin Farm Wildlife Sanctuary strives to foster connections between people, land, and wildlife in ways that allow our visitors to develop and act on their own conservation ethic. We have recently introduced system dynamics concepts to effectively communicate the interdependencies present in sustainable farming practices and to develop Systems Thinking abilities in our preschool and K-5 program participants. The session will provide an overview of our process for integrating Systems Thinking in our education programs as well as curricular tools developed to demonstrate the interconnections between farming, soil health, and the larger environmental system.

| Teaching Humanities Using Systems Tools |
|

Author(s):
Jeff Potash, Jason O'Neil-Willoughby, & Beth Olesen |
Subject:
Conference |
| |
In this workshop, we will explore how different system tools offers opportunities for students to look for patterns in human history and to ask deeper and more thoughtful questions relating to the causes and connections underlying these patterns. Building systems structures (causal loops, connection circles, models) uniquely empowers students to actively explore “what ifs” in ways that bridge past, present, and future. |

Subject:
Conference |

This workshop examines both the practical and philosophical aspects that contribute to a dynamic, learner-centered classroom. We will look at teaching and learning from several points of view, using a variety of systems tools. In this fast-paced, hands-on introductory session, educators will develop their understanding of systems by using some of the key tools of systems thinking, system dynamics, and organizational learning. Explore how behavior-over-time graphs, iceberg diagrams, stock and flow diagrams, connection circles, and causal loop diagrams can be applied to understand and solve complex problems in an educational setting.

| SD/ST Tools for School Leaders: Creating a Culture and Climate for Sustainable SD/ST Integration in Classrooms Using SD/ST Tools |
|
|
Author(s):
Tim Lucas |
Subject:
Conference |
| |
School Leaders are faced with many challenges. Supporting and integrating the use of SD/ST into classrooms to improve learning requires leadership and a school culture that embraces sustainable instructional literacies. This session will explore specific SD/ST tools that building and district school leaders can use to model and create this culture. Over the past decade, we have worked with diverse school leaders translating the work of Doug Reeves, Roland Barth, Michael Fullen, Jim Collins, Daniel Pink, Peter Senge, and others into SD/ST tools and best practices. Join us for an exploration of some of these tools and share your own best practices.

| Plateaus and Climbing Peaks: Putting Systems Thinking Into Action |
|
|
Author(s):
Kim Gimblett |
Subject:
Conference |
| |
Follow me through my first years’ journey in Systems Thinking. Education can be a powerful means for initiating or reaffirming a person’s sense of responsibility for the environment. To get my students outside and interacting with the beauty that exists around us is a priority in changing their perspectives and can lead to an increased understanding of stewardship and ecosystem sustainability. Connecting the intrinsic human relationship within our youth with nature is complex, but includes establishing the Systems Thinking framework into the observation of natural events as a routine exercise. Harnessing students’ desires to be involved in digital technologies while getting them outdoors leads to new potential. Technology will be our leverage to enable students to participate in social networks and informal learning environments that will encourage new participation in science across the curriculum.
