In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, Dr. Mike Laird and I would like to share the dedications from our soon to be released (within the next three weeks) book, “The Fundamental 5: The Formula for Quality Instruction”. Laird’s Dedication: I dedicate this book to the most important people in education today, classroom teachers. When all is said and done, it is the teachers who do the heavy lifting in education. What and how well they teach our children is critical to our future success as a society, and they deserve the best leadership and support that we can provide them. Cain’s Dedication: I dedicate this book to the five educators who made the biggest impact on my education, career, and life: Ronald Maas (Aldine ISD), Betsy Shipper (Aldine ISD), Tommy Wallace (Aldine ISD), Roy Smith (Aldine ISD), and Richard Hooker (University of Houston). I stand on their shoulders. Think. Work. Achieve. Your turn… Coming Soon! “The Fundamental 5: The Formula for Quality Instruction” www.TheFundamentalFive.com Follow Sean Cain on www.Twitter.com/LYSNation Upcoming Presentation Schedule June 11 (TASB) – The Fundamental Five; Improve Now!
