Abstract

Barry Richmond described seven systems thinking skills needed to become a successful systems thinker. These skills are woven throughout the grades 4‐12 curriculum. The seven systems thinking skills can each be further defined by three distinct levels of competence, with an increase in cognitive capability required at each successive level. A proposed sequence is presented for the skills themselves, and suggestions are given for activities at each level within the skills. Level I activities may begin with ten‐year‐old students, but level II activities are best mastered by the senior students (about 18 years old). More research is needed to justify the proposed developmental sequence.
