I am interessted to know, if anyone has (or knows about) a system teaching course for
adults (having left school at 10th grade) with some of following properties:

covered topics: systemic thinking, modeling, simple system dynamic example (on PC),
benefits of sensitivity analyse
size for about 40 lessons
language: english or german
documentation available: teachers guide, student guide, examples

I know of varaious papers for the topics mentioned, but not about a complete and
ready-to-go course

Many thanks for direct feedback

Dear Alfred,

I have developed a course based on MITs Road Maps. I have taught the course
a number of times on the condition that I do not make money on the material.
If you wish I could send you a CD which contains all of the course material.
Send me a return e-mail with your mailing address if you would like to review
it.

Sincerely,
Ivan

Alfred,

WPI has an undergraduate major in system dynamics that contains a variety
of introductory and advanced level courses subsuming the topics that
interest you. We have seven week terms and one can also enroll as a special
student in any of the courses. Please check out our web site for the details.

One of my students helped develop and teach a course for high school
Juniors and seniors at the Mass Academy. A report of his project including
all the teaching materials and a journal reporting day by day experience
will soon be available from WPI libraries. The course was taught in English.
