About the Creative Learning Exchange

The Creative Learning Exchange encourages a view of education for primary and secondary schools based on discovery as the essence of the learning process and advocates systems education implemented through learner-centered learning. 

The CLE facilitates communication among teachers and schools to help create a network of schools using systems education. It solicits teaching materials and ideas from participating teachers. The CLE will make such materials available at cost to educators. Some of the currently available materials include: 

• Processes for introducing systems education and learner-centered learning.
• Models and lesson plans from both beginners and more experienced teachers. 
• Video tapes of teaching materials, educational approaches, and community implementation. 
• A quarterly newsletter with feature articles and updates from participating school systems.

To further support networking and learning, the CLE also hosts a biennial conference on systems thinking and dynamic modeling. Please view the documents and materials from past conferences.

Of ongoing interest and study at the CLE is the introduction of systems education in schools. Using the concepts of system dynamics to learn about the process of education in this country, the CLE can apply the knowledge gained to school systems to further systems education.

Please register with the Creative Learning Exchange in order to be informed about what is new in the world of systems education in K-12, and any pertinent workshops or conferences.

A CD-ROM is available with all the CLE materials on the Web. This includes any handouts from the latest conference; all the back issues of our newsletter, The Exchange; Acrobat readers; and run-time versions of STELLA for both Macs and PCs.
