Cain Notes
I read a lot. As I read, I highlight passages, take notes, ask questions and make comments in the margins of the pages. I do this in every non-fiction book that I read.

Made to Stick, by Chip and Dan Heath (Recently Added!)
- An easy to read,"how to," book on creating messages that stick with the listener. An excellent resource for educators at any level. Read this book before you begin revising your class lessons and/or staff trainings.
Corp Business, by David H. Freedman
Environments for Learning, by Eric Jensen
- The fact that we can either accelerate or decelerate learning based on the environment in which we place the learner is becoming common knowledge. This book provides a great starting point as you begin to purposely manipulate instructional settings to improve student performance.
Who Moved My Cheese, by Spencer Johnson, M.D.
- A modern classic. A simple, yet powerful fable on how to deal with and manage change.
