Keeping Systems Thinking in Perspective

How Systems Thinking Applies to Education

Frank Betts

Becoming a Learning Community

Beth Buchler and Margaret Johnson

JW Forrester

Forrester’s article focuses on the dynamic, computer-modeling approaches that are being used in K-12 schools across America. He focuses his article on a project oriented approach known as learner-centered learning for K-12. When this technique is applied with system dynamics it becomes a very powerful tool that substantially corrects learning issues in the K-12 system.
