GROWING MINDS
Improving thinking skills, behaviour and personal achievement for students of all ages.
TOC for Education - Australia Inc. is a not-for-profit organisation providing workshops and training in the Theory of Constraints (TOC) logical and practical thinking and communication tools to:
- Students
- Parents/carers
- Educators
- Education administrators

At the heart of our approach is the desire to contribute to a better world by teaching children and adults new and effective ways of thinking in order to improve their lives and opportunities now and in the future.
Toward a new Paradigm of Learning
The following slides by Maciek Winarek (Poland) demonstrate why and how we can revolutionise education through changing the role of the teacher to a mentor guiding the learning processes whilst at the same time students take responsibility for their own learning fully engaged, empowered and with content that is relevant to them and society.
Discover the world of TOC and its logical thinking tools and you will find endless possibility to achieve far better outcomes for children, educators, schools, the education system as a whole and society in general.

Positive Change
Theory of Constraints (TOC) is a set of thinking processes along with common sense methodologies used to logically identify and overcome key limitations that inhibit a person, group or organisation from achieving its goal.
Most educators very much aspire to a goal of preparing students of all ages to become responsible and productive now and in the future. Yet, in spite of good intentions, dedication, and current best practices, many obstacles still limit the improvements needed to achieve this objective.
In the words of the founder of TOC, Dr. Eliyahu M. Goldratt (1947-2011), “Every improvement is a change but not every change is an improvement.” If we want to create the improvements we envision, then we must effectively address three questions:
What to change to?
How to cause the change?
Logical Thinking & Communication Tools
Theory of Constraints (TOC) provides a unique set of tools that work regardless of age, cultural differences or political systems, enabling students and those who support them to accomplish goals, analyse information and solve problems.
These graphic and practical tools are applied in education to improve academic learning, student behaviours and school governance. The outcome is that students participate more enthusiastically, taking greater responsibility for their own learning and behaviour, with noticeable improvements in individual and class performance.
