General Description

Starting in the summer of 1996, The Creative Learning Exchange has hosted a biennial conference to explore systems thinking and dynamic modeling in K-12 education.

This conference provides resources and an opportunity for educators and interested citizens to explore what is current and possible in K-12 systems education. It is designed to involve experienced individuals as well as novices. Many fields are represented; participants include teachers, administrators, curriculum coordinators, citizen advocates, and business partners for schools.

Our goal is to help students/future employees be self-motivated and have the critical thinking skills necessary to look at dynamic systems in an increasingly complex technological society.

Presenters at a typical CLE conference include:

• Teachers and administrators actively involved in systems education across the country and internationally
• Internationally known speakers and professors in the field of systems thinking and system dynamics
