How Your Students Can Use System Dynamics to Save the World Stella Model
Author(s): Andrew Jones Subject: Conference
  Public Policy can be improved by the use of system dynamics models. Drew Jones will share some of his experiences using system dynamics models and diagrams to improve public policy, on topics ranging from public health to global climate change. Drew was a student of Dana Meadows’ and co-received the “ASysT Prize” for “a significant accomplishment achieved through the application of Systems Thinking to a problem of US national significance.”
 
Introduction to Dynamic Modeling
Author(s): Anne LaVigne Subject: Conference
  This session is intended for individuals who have some Systems Thinking background and would like to explore the basics of dynamic modeling software as a way to represent a system. Participants will become familiar with basic icons of STELLA® software (stocks, flows, converters, connectors, and graphs) in order to build simple models that demonstrate linear and compounding growth. They will expand the compounding growth model into a population/resource model and then compare linear and non-linear models. If time allows, participants can also explore simulations of other generic models that are freely available online. Please bring a laptop computer for this session.
 
Lessons and Insights Using Stella Online
Author(s): Diana Fisher Subject: Conference
  A hands-on workshop, with 3 introductory lessons to help you get started using the free, web-based Stella Online software.
 
Lessons from Implementation of Systems Thinking and Dynamic Modeling in Schools
Author(s): Greg Orpen, Tim Lucas, Cathy Keegan, & Benjamin Chung Subject: Conference
  Three different models: Greg Orpen (Innovation Academy Charter School) Tim Lucas and Cathy Keegan (Milton PA Public Schools and the Institute for Teaching and Leading) Benjamin Chung (Korea and Thailand)
 
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.
 
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.
 
System Dynamics Modeling and STEM
Author(s): Diana M. Fisher Subject: Conference
  From physical science, to life science, to math, the motion detector and system dynamics models help students understand dynamics, feedback, and patterns. Participants will build models involving resource depletion and predator/prey interactions, among others. Participants should have a laptop computer for this intermediate level workshop.
 
Systems Academy for Young Scientists (SAYS) Pilot Summer Program
Author(s): Rudy Reyna, Andi Guerrero, & Ben Jurewicz Subject: Conference
  The Systems Academy for Young Scientists (SAYS) pilot summer session consisted of a 5-week enrichment program offered to elementary students to explore ST/SD. This session will discuss the design of the program, the model, the implementation including budget, timeline, etc., lessons learned, results and plans for 2010. This session is geared towards elementary level teachers and administrators.
 
Systems Thinking: A Key 21st Century Skill in K-12 Education
Author(s): Andrea Davidson, & Joan Yates Subject: Conference
  Learn how and why one school district’s community members and educational staff came together to include Systems Thinking as one of the 21st century skills deemed essential to their K-12 students’ success. Explore components of Systems Thinking professional development, assessment rubrics and curriculum used within the district during the past two years.
 
Teacher as Systems Designer: Classroom Structures for Effective Student Learning
Author(s): Rob Quaden, & Alan Ticotsky 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.
