## In authors' words

### What they set out to do (purpose)

A District Administration piece featuring documentary director Deborah Hoard on RE:Thinking and systems thinking in K-12 schools.

### What they found (results)

Schools can improve outcomes by teaching students to think systemically rather than to memorize, and still meet state standards; Hoard credits the work to the Cabreras' systems-based concepts, with students asking why state capitals are capitals and who needs them.
