Principles and methods of instruction
G'day all,
Just wanted some help from anyone who has sat this for their Grade 1 instructor rating. Any useful pointers on what to study?
I am aware of the FAA handbook (I think I've got that stashed on he computer somewhere). Anything else worth reading?
And anything else you think is worth knowing/studying for the actual grade 1 flight test?
Many thanks
Johnny

Just make sure you have the newest version of the FAA handbook, as the older one doesn't have the "Hierachy of needs" stuff in it. I had to do a fair amount of educated guessing, having not read any of it, but passed anyway.

GFA Instructors Handbook
I know I've recommended this some other time on here, but the Gliding Federation Australia (GFA) publish an instructors handbook for their internal use which is available on their website (link: Documents List -- and you want part 1 btw; part 2 is all about glider specific airexs).
It's a very practical document -- so it mightn't be a lot of use for the exam. But part of the role of a Grade 1 is to mentor/teach junior instructors, and I've previously found the information in the GFA instructors handbook very useful for doing just that.
Cheers,
Grade 3

The following link could be worth a look. Again this is more practical based:
