I got my copy of "Train Like You Fly" last Friday and have not put it down since. Well written, well researched and lots of practical ideas. Arlynn shows how to build command decision making into flight training leading to pilots that are not just legal but safe and considerate of other users in the system.

A really great book that I expect to have dog-eared as I working on my instructor's rating here at home in Australia. And I have bought a second copy to give to my instructor

Helpful Votes: 1 out of 1 total.
Review Date: 2007-10-24

This book is hardly useful to the educational administrator. Much of the book deals with the design of a professional development program. With the advent of school improvement plans in the 1990s all schools should have PD programs as part of their school improvement plan. A better use of the book would be to highlight effective PD practices and show how to transition to successful practices when in an effective program.

The prose is dry and often hard to follow, and the book tends to repeat itself often. Highly not recommended, both by myself and my professor who has over 20 years of professional development experience.

If you wish to know the cutting edge issues shaping teacher education, please look no further than this massive (and overpriced) tome.

Leading scholars from the American Educational Research Association (AERA) summarize several years worth of study, compilation, review, and analyzation of the field. They present their findings in this big book.

A gem to be on the shelf. Check it out.

Review Date: 2007-10-25

I already was considered the maverick teacher--never using the curriculum always doing my own thing .....THIS inspires people like me who are "drama queens" and people who think "I COULD NEVER DO THAT" to realize
YES, YOU CAN !!!! It is fun, exciting teaching of the most important subject in so many ways that will teach the kids so they will NEVER FORGET !!
EVERY church teacher should read this..it is a bastion of GREAT ideas to get and keep the kids coming and learning and REMEMBERING !!!!!
It is this kind of teaching that keeps the kids begging to NOT go up to the next class because they love your class so much !!

Storytelling Made Easier

I have greatly enjoyed the Creative Storytelling Guide. It is clear and easy to follow, even for a novice. I especially liked the hand-outs in the back. They were very helpful in teaching others some of the major points of the book. Read the book all the way through, or just the chapter that interests you. Either way, you'll find many suggestions that can improve your style and methods. This is a keeper for any Children's Ministry library.

possibly the best storytelling book on Bible--not just for kids

Review Date: 2006-03-29

My storytelling prof recommended that I read Steven James book, but I was a bit put off by the cover--it looked a bit cheesy for me.
However, I decided to trust her advice and once I opened the book--I found that she was right. James breaks down fears, story structure, delivering the story, creating the right environment, telling stories to different age groups. In fact, at the end of the book you're provided with handouts if you want to teach on the chapters.

It was so refreshing to be able to look at the bible the way God intended, to see that he gave us this wonderful story, full of intrigue and mystery and redemption that we are apart of. I think this book is not limited to Children's Ministry, but can be applied to adults as well. If you want to know more about how to tell a story well--you should definitely get this book.

Review Date: 2008-05-04

I am just starting out as a sub for grade school and wanted to be well prepared. I saw great reviews on this particular book and decided to go for it. I was not dissapointed. It has a lot of good tips and includes some handy filler/emergency tactics such as games and pages to copy to keep the day running smoothly. It also has lots of handy information that is grade specific so no matter where you go, you will have a reference and appropriate backup to refer to. I highly recommend it.

This book is the best resource out there, and is currently being used at the local university. I am an education major and my campus uses this edition as well. There are many helpful bulleted lists for quick reference while in the classroom. Several supply freebies are printed up just waiting to Xeroxed st your convenience. Still, the best features are it's ease of reading and application of little details that make all the difference. This is the kind of "practical magic" you don't receive from a formal education that makes all the difference come game time.

And may your journey as a substitute go well....

This book provides some real insights and valuable suggestions for how to approach substitute teaching. In fact, I have used the techniques outlined in the book to solve other problems with regards to public speaking and small group leadership.

Overall, I have found the book helpful, although I do have one very minor complaint...Although the book makes every effort to be clear in its presentation (using reminder icons etc.) The headings threw me off. Generally you expect Larger headings to be the main point with smaller headings explaining subpoints; however the headings in this book kind of blurred together using the same fonts, so I had to go back in the reading to determine what the over arching themes were for the chapter.

As I said, very minor complaint!!! Otherwise, I would say...Buy this book first! The others just reiterate the same points, and they don't do it with half the level of thoroughness.
