DaSy, ECTA, and the Waters Center for Systems Thinking teamed with four states to improve their Part C/619 programs by increasing the knowledge and skills needed to improve data culture and become systems thinkers. This session used interactive activities using Habits of a Systems Thinker cards and guiding questions to prompt discussion on systems change. Presenters discussed how to use systems thinking and build a data culture to create positive change and improved performance. Simple hands-on activities demonstrated systems concepts. States from the Data and Systems Thinking Cohort shared their experiences through a facilitated panel discussion. DaSy/ECTA/Waters tools were highlighted (e.g., Data Culture Toolkit; Habits cards/tools; Look! Think! Act!).
