3.  Atomic Habits by James Clear
4. Written by James Clear, a leading expert on habit formation, this book provides a proven framework for creating habits that encourage self-growth.

Nicks Books:

 From https://www.fractuslearning.com/best-books-for-teachers-pd/ 

1. Out of Our Minds: Learning to be Creative by Ken Robinson: “It is often said that education and training are the keys to the future. They are, but a key can turn in two directions. Turn it one way, and you lock resources away, even from those they belong to. Turn it the other way, and you release resources and give people back to themselves.” Learning to be Creative is one of the best books for teachers to inspire learners and educators to think and act differently toward each other.
2. Teach Like a Pirate by DAve Burgess: Based on Dave Burgess’s popular “Outrageous Teaching” and “Teach Like a PIRATE” seminars, this development book offers inspiration, practical techniques, and innovative ideas that will help the teacher increase student engagement, boost your creativity and transform your life as an educator.
