I am very interested to hear of anywhere that people are openly
developing a
curriculum that looks at whole systems before parts, and works out
what people
need to understnad about systems at each age group
I am not clear if you are saying that Senge is supporting this. One of
the
issues about systems teaching is that any systems approach is only as
useful
as its ability to interface with any other systems approach; I have
not always
found chapters close to Senge as open as this dynamic requires
connectedness is the future in ways that traditional separation of
teaching
subjects does not begin to help students see

I found the website by googling "CLE June conference" - probably too
K-12 for me, but I'm curious about it now. I've seen other modeling
for community growth, housing, transportation, and I like it because
people get images about possibilities, and some who seemed unable to
change course or see what was coming go "ah ha!" -- and the
conversation opens up. The computer model may be way off -- or not --
but it still breaks the mold and shifts mental models for many.

a useful tool related to the concept network is Systems
Thinnking/Dynamic Modeling, or System
Dynamics. Teaching/learning tool used in k-12, from kindergarten on
up, corporate planning (Peter
Senge's SoL included), and advanced medical and scientific research -
to explore by creating graphic
representations how everything is connected - extraordinary. System
Dynamics leaders speak of it in
terms of "systems citizenship" - a way of understanding and engaging
the world that all of us need
for navigating - and creating - a sustainable global future that
works for everyone.
If any of you work with educators, k-12, higher education or
community-based, you might check out
CLE June conference in northeastern Massachusetts. Four days, with
folks from throughout the world,
that are like a full semester of grad school with none of the stress!
educators and scholars totally
on an equal basis - extraordinary. I attach some basic information.

Subject: as an open spacer, do you talk about concept networks?
First, concept network is an emerging term. If you already use
different
language for the idea, why not tell me at [email protected]
Me no wheel reinventor! That said here are 2 examples of concept
networks
currently going the rounds. Do you have one to add or want to join
in either
round?
CONCEPT NETWORKS what might these be?
1
For example, there are about 10 well endowed (mulitibillion dollar)
hi-tech
philanthropists' foundations. Does even one of them enable a concept
virtual
community where a thousand or so people could debate ideas and if
one best
contender got produced a year, the foundation would find some small
way of
testing it out.
2
we know of many cultural creatives (young at heart in any city we
visit who
want to change the world's humanity on at least one issue that seems
to make
common sense as well as provide a bridge to multicultural harmony
and ending
terror); however if you ask yourself the question, what list of 20
attributes
help measure whether a city supports or pollutes the atempts of
young
creatives to activate such good work for humanity:
where is the listing being commonly debated? if you do have a
listing, do you
know of one city anywhere whose system supports more of the
attributes than it
destroys. We don't but our correspondents are looking through 100
cities,-why
not join in such a colaboration survey or suggest some young people
do?
