    As the Associate Director of Instructional Coaching Programs in the Coaching Partnerships Project at UCLA Center X, I see a lot of opportunity to reflect on thinking in systems. Each group of educators I support is generally looking to achieve some result; coaches want to find the capacity to support teachers with effective practices, teachers want to see students achieve, and administrators look to have productive teams, all while recognizing the stressors both educators and students face day to day. ? Consider the aspects of a system: the elements, the interconnections, and a function or purpose to produce or achieve some result. Everyone in the system has a part and is impacted by all the aspects above. What is clear for educators as part of a system is that the results of any action have come from the very ways the system is structured, whether the results are intended, or not. Could this be part of why we have such high teacher burnout, or why teams of educators make quick decisions as they attend to increasing duties? Our systems seem unable to handle the load.? ? Donella Meadows author of?Thinking in Systems?writes that we have a lot to do “…as soon as we stop being blinded by the illusion of control” (p. 169). She also posits that “before you disturb the system in any way, watch how it behaves” (p.170). When I step back and listen and observe, I can see the behaviors, the patterns over time and the underlying ways the system is structured. As a coach, I can ask questions that might illuminate what is happening deep within the systemic patterns that perpetuate inequities and reinforce stressful environments that may even be re-traumatizing.? ? Here are some of the questions I have been asking myself of my own place in a system, and then have begun to ask of others in their systems: What are some of the behaviors within your system that are repeated? How might behaviors be noticed over time? Is there a time of day, or particular day of the week or month that shifts the behavior? When you observe the behaviors in your system, what do you notice about who responds? What are some of the impacts? What might be the ripple effects? ? While these questions may not immediately bring a solution to light, they may provide just enough of a pause to recenter our capacity to rethink and redesign a solution that has the impact we intend. ?
