Our practical TOC graphic tools enable students of all ages to accomplish goals, analyze information, solve problems--and to do so in a way that engages their wish to learn. Working without regard to age, culture or political system, the TOC tools are simple enough to be used by kindergartners and profound enough to be used by CEO’s. TOCfE has trained over 250,000 education stakeholders in over 20 countries on 6 continents with an impact on over 8 million children….and all with whom they interact in their homes, classrooms and communities.

Our Origins
In the words of the creator 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?
What to Change to?
How to Cause the Change?
TOC for Education, Inc. (TOCfE) is a not for profit foundation (US 501c3) established in 1995 to address these questions in education through the dissemination of a set of highly robust, logic- based thinking and communication tools.

Unleashing People’s Potential Through TOC for Education Thinking Tools
Theory of Constraints (TOC) is a Theory of Change that applies a set of thinking processes along with common sense methodologies used to logically identify and overcome key limitations that inhibit a person, group or organization 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.
Tools that Work for All Ages
- CLOUD: resolves internal and external conflicts without compromising important needs
- AMBITIOUS TARGET: Enables users to create an effective plan by overcoming obstacles that block the attainment of a goal
- BRANCH: Identifies the consequences of decisions, actions and ideas that lead to negative outcomes and how to convert them to positive outcomes
These tools enable children of all ages (and those who guide them) to solve problems whether in the classroom, in a textbook, or in the boardroom.
