| Learning to Connect the Dots: Developing Children's Systems Literacy |
|
|
Author(s):
Linda Booth Sweeney |
Subject:
Why K12 SD |
| |
How can can adults nurture children's capacity to "connect the dots" through everyday conversations and activities? How can educators build an environment that leads children to see the patterns that make a difference? In this article, educator and writer Linda Booth Sweeney points out that thinking about systems means paying attention to the interrelationships, patterns, and dynamics that surround us - and that children are naturally attuned to this. In cultivating systems literacy, you build upon this natural understanding to help promote this integrated way of thinking for the children in your life. |
