Aviation Supplies & Academics, Inc., 2002

If you are going to be a flight instructor, get this book.
With the words and pictures expressing his technical knowledge and humor, Bill Kershner made the perfect book for teaching you how to teach others how to fly. From first flight to solo to cross country to advanced checkouts it is all here. This is real world information you will refer to before going to the airport to teach. It's not really a guide to get you to pass the FAA checkride, it's a ...

Turtle Press, 2002

Thorough Instructions on how to run a great martial arts school.
This book has a wealth of information about running a dojang (dojo). From dealing with the difficult student to organizing a class with specific drills, this book covers everything a good instructor needs to at least think through. I particularly liked the aspects of running a business; when to advertise, how to run a radio spot, what to do when enrollment drops, when to expand and when not to. ...

Great for a last minute cram session
I bought this book to help me with my UFI to CFI-SP transition. It presents clear explanations of the content that will be covered by the test questions. It doesn't waste much time on content that is not on the test. Each and every FAA question is listed with the answers on the bottom of the page. Explanations are also given as to why each answer is right or wrong. There's no way I would ...

American Psychological Association (APA), 2001

Good for Evaluation Materials
This is a good resource guide if you need materials to test a student's knowledge of APA Style. I found it useful to evaluate students' knowledge of APA format before I had covered any material. Unfortunately, I was expecting more information on pedagogical methods for teaching APA Style, not just for testing students on it. The resource guide consists of multiple choices evaluations and answer ...

American Council on Exercise Staff

Amer Council on Exercise, 2000

Good Study Book
This book is straight from ACE. It is complete with a section in the back that breaks down what the Ace test will cover. I have not taken the Ace test yet and so I cannot comment on whether or not this book alone will be sufficient enough as a study aid for the Ace Group Fitnsss Instructor exam. I found it extremely informative and very well organized.
