Master the Age of Complexity through innovative growth.
From far-reaching impacts of COVID-19 to environmental and economic concerns, we’re living in the Age of Complexity that will likely be with us for generations to come. How then can schools and organizations change their learning environments to foster innovative thinking in students when the Age of Complexity is always at the forefront? Peter Gamwell and Jane Daly answer that question and more by demonstrating how to understand problems the world faces as living, changing systems.
Built on the philosophy that the prosperity of any organization is directly proportional to how it values its people, affords them autonomy, and gives them creative rein, this book provides resources including:
- A new way to define brilliance, and 10 specific ways you can shift your organization to prepare your school and community for the Age of Complexity
- Detailed case studies from schools excelling in the Age of Complexity
- Links to videos showcasing real-world students and educators in action
- Key takeaways highlighting each chapter’s critical content
- Reflective questions to facilitate the application of ideas into school and district settings
- Actionable strategies to use in classrooms and school communities
As the world continues to grow more complex, this resource provides timely direction on how to think big about innovative growth, even if the first step is small.

Sobre o autor
Although Jane’s career took her into the marketing and communications world, she was always fascinated by the field of education and the seeds of potential in every individual—especially when one of her own sons had difficulty reading and thus became “a problem to be solved.” She has worked on numerous communications projects for educational institutions and has taught at the college level. She has often observed the challenges and opportunities that both educational organizations and businesses share when it comes to organizational learning. Jane was happy to join Peter Gamwell as coauthor for The Wonder Wall: Leading Creative Schools and Organizations in an Age of Complexity and again with Thinker, Learner, Dreamer, Doer: Innovative Pedagogies for Cultivating Every Student’s Potential. Jane freelances as a communications strategist and commercial writer by day and enjoys fiction writing by night, as well as spending time with her husband John, and their kids and grandkids, at the small Mac Laren’s Landing beach community outside of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
