## In short

Coverage of the work in District Administration.

## 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.

## 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.

These researchers were not testing DSRP. The finding is theirs; the correspondence to DSRP is drawn by this site.
