Interesting, I was just doing some "surfing" during a coffee break and
noticed this link: http://www.connection.se/cogwheelschool/
It is entitled "Systems Thinking for School Restructuring" and might be
worth a look over. Mainly its an advertisement for a publication, but
it has alot of links to school sources.

I am forwarding the following question to the system dynamics listserve,
thinking that some outside the k-12 education community may be able to
help.

Does anyone know of any literature on the application of systems thinking
and systems dynamics as management tools in education administration?

The Ohio State University, College of Food, Agriculture, and Environmental
Sciences has been going through a long-term strategic restructuring. Much
of what is being used in systems approaches. Also, the Department of
Agriculutural Economics (within the college) is experimenting with using a
systems-based approach (in some manner).

I do not have the web site at my disposal this moment, but the Colleges web
site should get you there. Look for "Project Reinvent" at Ohio State
University. The key word "Ohioline" may also get you there.

Concerning SD and education administration:

John Voyer, Libra Professor at the University of Sourthern Maines
School fo Business, has done some modeling of this issue for his
university.
