Training

Systems thinking can be studied in many ways. Based on the experience of educators involved in the System Thinking in Schools project, face-to-face, interactive training is the best way to begin. Once the learner has acquired an understanding of the basic concepts, habits, and tools of systems thinking, he/she should be able to adopt or adapt existing applications. Following the Level I training, an educator should continue with Level II training to deepen understanding and increase his/her ability to design and assess applications of systems thinking.
