July in Tucson can mean only one thing—

it’s time for camp, of course...

...and it’s time to scale up the efforts to embed


systems thinking and sustainability in education.
The kids need it, schools need it, communities need it, the world needs it.

Join us!
You never dreamed Tucson in July could be so cool!
C
amp Snowball is a summer “camp” experience that brings together students, parents,
educators, and business and community leaders to build everyone’s capacity for learning
and leading in the 21st century. Teams and individuals from school systems and
communities around the world are invited to learn how to enable youth to develop
into “systems citizens.” Systems Citizens are members of a global community who strive
to understand the complexities of today’s world and have the informed capacity to make a
difference. See some of the 20+ years worth of powerful examples in our schools:

s Bob Dylan noted in his iconic song, the times they are a-changin’. Complexity is increasing exponentially, and
school systems need to prepare students for today’s challenges and tomorrow’s world. Employers consistently
rank applied thinking skills—such as systems thinking—as crucial for the 21st-century workforce. Likewise, various
researchers identify systems knowledge as crucial to successful living and learning in today’s context. In recogni-
tion of the importance of this emerging form of literacy, local, state, and national education standards are increas-
ingly including demonstrated understanding of dynamic systems as an integral knowledge area.
For the past 20 years, schools in Tucson, Arizona, and other forward-thinking communities in the United States, the Nether-
lands, Singapore, and beyond have been teaching their students how to deal with complex, dynamic problems by applying
a systems thinking approach. Applications have been implemented through new instructional strategies at every grade lev-
el. But no matter the topic or the students’ ages, their success in the classroom and in the workplace is consistently high.
Why is that? Because when students look at the world through a systems lens, they gain insight into the underlying structures
that produce certain patterns of behavior—both in their schoolwork and lives—and learn to test proposed actions for unintended
consequences. They also immediately recognize the relevance of their schoolwork, engage with real-world problems, and
develop a useful and practical skillset that will serve them throughout their lives.
Research shows that instructional settings that optimize learning are student-centered, experiential, holistic, and authentic.
In addition, they provide students with opportunities to express themselves in different ways, reflect and interact with other
students, and collaborate. Learning in these settings involves the construction of ideas and systems and not just rote memori-
zation or manipulation of facts and figures. Systems thinking brings all of these characteristics into the curriculum. Pairing the
powerful concepts of systems thinking with best practices in instructional strategies accelerates students’ in developing their
abilities to live in today’s increasingly complex world.

Systems thinking offers a powerful new perspective, a specialized language, and a set of tools
that can be used to address the most stubborn problems in your everyday life and work. Systems thinking is
a way of understanding reality that emphasizes the relationships among a system’s parts, rather than the parts
themselves. Based on a field of study known as system dynamics, systems thinking has a practical value that
rests on a solid theoretical foundation. http://www.pegasuscom.com/systems-thinking.html

Education for Sustainability (EfS) is defined as a transformative learning process that equips
students, teachers, and school systems with the new knowledge and ways of thinking we need to achieve
economic prosperity and responsible citizenship while restoring the health of the living systems

Since summer is vacation time for many of us, we encourage you to bring
your family. We’ve got a great location all picked out—the Westin La

rest and relaxation. The Westin also offers a program for the littlest among
us (ages six months and up) so there’s something for everyone!

Program/Agenda
Camp Snowball is being carefully designed with the needs of the various types of participants in mind. There are many
components and different options for participation.

To receive maximum benefit, we encourage you to participate in the whole event. You can do that in one of two ways—as a

Of course no camp experience would be complete without opportunities to hang out with your new and old friends, so
there’s time for that as well as a special evening field trip to Tucson’s renowned Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. http://www.
desertmuseum.org/

Finally—for those who are bringing their family and want to jump-start their kids in learning about systems and
sustainability, there is Camp Sunshine! This special day camp will run from 8:30-5:30 each day and will give entering first to
sixth graders a special experience of their own. Games, songs, crafts, nature, adventures—they’ll get it here—with a twist.
Registration for Camp Sunshine includes lunch and for those staying at the Westin, transportation to and from the camp site
as needed.

COMMON CORE STANDARDS


www.corestandards.org
The Common Core State Standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn,
so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them. The standards are designed to be robust and rele-
vant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and ca-
reers. With American students fully prepared for the future, our communities will be best positioned to compete suc-
cessfully in the global economy.

STEM ( S c i e n c e , TEC h n o lo g y E d u c at i o n , e n g i n e e r i n g , a n d m at h )
STEM Education refers to the teaching and learning of STEM disciplines, in an integrated, innovative and applied fash-
ion to a level of challenge sufficient for workforce readiness. These discipline, which require critical thinking skills, are
collectively considered core technological underpinnings of an advanced society.
Core Workshops
Your “camp counselors” will be educators experienced in introducing systems thinking and education for sustainability to
