Systems Thinking Resources The Iceberg Model The iceberg model is a valuable tool to encourage systemic thinking and help you contextualize an issue as part of a whole system. By asking you to connect an event–a single incident or occurrence–to patterns of behavior, systems structures, and mental models, the iceberg allows you to see the structures underlying the event. Just like […]
In this series on systems thinking, I share the key insights and tools needed to develop and advance a systems mindset for dealing with complex problem solving and transitioning to the Circular…
hy is it so challenging to develop systems thinking ability? It’s because thinking systemically involves a rather large number of different skills—seven, at least—that all require practice. The systems thinking method comprises four steps. The seven systems thinking skills come into play during this method as shown:

I designed these 6 posters to help our elementary STEM students understand the Engineering Habits of Mind. The definitions are in kid-friendly terms and I've incorporated visual cues and examples when applicable. The 6 Engineering Habits of Mind are: -Systems Thinking -Creativity -Optimism -Collaboration -Communication -Ethical Considerations
Systemic Change Map How might we understand the process of supporting necessary, visionary change? This map by our colleague Joe Hsueh provides one way of thinking (and a set of assumptions) about how change can be made possible. It is of course a simplification, but the key things to pay attention to here are the circular nature of learning and adapting […] read more

Peter Drucker was a master in the field of business thinking. Earlier this year I stumbled upon his Paradigm of Change Model and I started thinking about how this applied to design.
The Instructional Systems Design infographic begins with the supporting instructional design theory basis and displays the depth of the instructional design profession’s art and science.
Ever since The Back of the Napkin appeared, people have been asking me for download-friendly versions of the key visual thinking tools I introduce. So due to popular request, here they are; high-resolution PDF files for: The Visual Thinking Toolkit....
Core principles for successful data visualization, including tips on how to reduce clutter, preattentive processing and how to integrate text within the graph.
Incredible things can happen when the right group of people are focused on a shared purpose, when they trust each other, and when they seek out opportunities to support each other’s work. For true…
Our #SciencingAndEngineering Collection will include videos directed at students along with videos directed at teachers highlighting best practices for engaging students. Teachers can either use the videos or they could utilize the videos as professional development and then engage their students using them completely offline (preferred). The focus of this collection will be on phenomenon-driven…
Thanks for checking out STEM: Engineering a Team Flag System! This activity is GREAT for the beginning of the year and team building! In this STEM activity, groups of students create a team flag, complete with a name and logo. They will then use their engineering skills to build a flag pole system, complete with a pulley and a base. Great for critical thinking, team work, collaboration! Includes Materials List, Planning Space, Directions, Requirements and Criteria, Reflection Questions and More! Enjoy!

The three aspects of resilience (persistence, adaptive capacity and transformability) describe important capacities of living systems: to resist collapse and maintain vital functions, to adapt to changing conditions (learn and self-organize) and in the case of Socio-Ecological Systems to apply foresight and anticipation to ‘design for positive emergence’ — to transform the system towards increased health and an improved capacity to respond wisely and creatively to disruptions and change.
