Teaching Common Sense

Rhonda Jones, author of the new book Teaching Common Sense spoke at our local ASTD Smoky Mountain Chapter meeting this week. If you have a chance to hear her speak or take one of her classes, jump on it. You can relate to all of her stories and her book is one you will read cover to cover before you put it down. If you are looking for a good book for a lunch 'n learn, this would be an excellent choice. The official title of the book is Teaching Common Sense: Seven Simple Principles for Nurturing Those Around You and Reaping the Harvest of Your Life.

Originally from Greeneville, Tennessee, Rhonda was a project manager with Philips Consumer Products and recently earned her master's degree in adult education from Tusculum College. Her book was written shortly after completing the degree. She plans a series of common sense related books so look for more in the next couple of years. Rhonda will be teaching classes for The University of Tennessee beginning Spring 2006 semester.
