Review\nThis book is brilliant. It is astonishingly practical and insightful. We create the conditions for each child’s brilliance to manifest by a strengths-based approach in a culture of true caring. We may know these truths but have been too casual in practicing them. Today’s world demands unfamiliar levels of courage and commitment to implement these practices wherever we can. It’s now or never. A truly remarkable work! -- Margaret J. Wheatley, Ed.D\nGamwell and Daly have done it again. With Thinker, Learner, Dreamer, Doer, they provide parents, children, teachers, administrators, and anyone else interested in schooling with an antidote to narrow-minded thinking and stifling technocracy. Key takeaways and practical ideas you can run with end each chapter. If you’re tired of testing mandates and one-size-fits-all curricula, start earmarking your favorite pages of this book now. Mine already looks like an accordion. -- Joel Westheimer, ― University of Ottawa\nPeter Gamwell and Jane Daly challenge our understanding of what resiliency can mean.

Education innovation really flourishes at the magical fusion of top-down strategies and bottom-up initiatives. Educators will find a practical framework to implement and create a support base for their innovation strategy or practice. -- Piet Grymonprez ― MyMachine Global Foundation\nThis book is both compelling and informative, filled with invaluable nuggets that resonate.
