However, after using the Systems Iceberg model, she recognized the deeper structural issues, such as economic policies and societal values that drive unsustainable practices. For example, I had many students who shifted their view of a common career path by analyzing more complex topics that came up after applying the tool, like: gender equality in sports, identity and cultural values in art, social responsibility in healthcare, or displacement and homelessness in architecture. The depth that was possible to obtain by using the iceberg led them to propose more comprehensive design solutions that included policy advocacy and community education initiatives. Additionally, their behavior shifted towards proactive problem-solving, as they began collaborating more with peers to tackle these complex issues from multiple angles.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b0bfe3e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b0bfe3e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Highlights<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-22a5063 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"22a5063\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Examples of work<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-784e5bf elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"784e5bf\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-3769fd2\" data-id=\"3769fd2\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c4fd9db elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c4fd9db\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/EVIDENCE-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-25955\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/EVIDENCE-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/EVIDENCE-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/EVIDENCE-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/EVIDENCE-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/EVIDENCE-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/EVIDENCE.jpg 1821w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b771564 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b771564\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Systems-iceberg.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-25957\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Systems-iceberg.jpg 940w, https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Systems-iceberg-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Systems-iceberg-768x644.jpg 768w, https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Systems-iceberg-14x12.jpg 14w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1e25348 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"1e25348\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cb75baf elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"cb75baf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\"><a class=\"button\" style=\"padding: 15px 10px;display: block;max-width: 200px;text-align: center;margin:auto;
