Yes, there are quite a few of us. I cannot guess the number because mostly we are lurkers with a few notable exceptions that move the conversation in wonderful ways. I am in Seattle and, no, there are no curricula out there except perhaps "Shape of Change" and Fisher's books on Math and SD. I'm sorry; I'm not at my desk so the references are probably close but not correct. I teach SD and modeling as part and parcel of my courses in Enviro Science and sustainability. So I do not use a curriculum per se. I think it fair to say that many are working on curricula in the State, but it is bootstrap and informal. I do not think a publisher would touch it because frankly there are not enough trained teachers to use it.
