System Dynamics Education

Waters Center for Systems Thinking
The Waters Center for Systems Thinking is an internationally recognized leader in system thinking capacity building. We are dedicated to providing the tools and methods that help people understand, track, and leverage the connections that affect their personal and professional goals.

CC Modeling Systems
If you are interested in learning and/or teaching students to analyze systems from the perspective of the feedback that controls the behavior of a system, the system dynamics modeling approach will provide a powerful tool for you. Additionally, the visual nature of the modeling software makes this modeling accessible to a wide range of students. To create a working model the student need only have an understanding of high school algebra. This type of modeling provides a different way to think about the serious issues we and our students face and gives us all a method that helps us understand and address these issues.
