My Project

These books will be used for professional development among instructors who will choose different chapters from each book, analyze how the ideas apply to education, and discuss with others different classroom applications. Cain's Quiet, Nerenberg's Divergent Mind, and Zorn's Golden can help us understand each others' perspectives better and communicate more effectively. Christian's Alignment Problem and Lieberman's Molecule of More explore some of the recent developments in motivation and creativity through artificial intelligence and neurotransmitters. Together, these titles have helped me see the world in a more coherent and meaningful way over the past few years, so I'd like to share them with interested others.
