	Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman REQUIRED READING for the EVOC 502 class. This book poses important philosophical questions about teaching and learning. It is written as a story of personal discovery, but has applications for everyone involved with education and with living.

	Choice Theory - by William Glasser REQUIRED READING for the EVOC 503 class. Glasser postulates that desire for external control is the main problem in the four major personal relationships: husband-wife, parent-child, teacher-student, and manager-worker.

Dr. Pendleton's Recommended Books

A reasonable goal for anyone involved with education would be to read at least one good book every month. Paperback books are cheap and can be easily carried in pocket or purse and read any place, any time. Truly educated people are distinguished much more by what they have read, and are able to intelligently discuss, than by academic degrees!
