4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful How-To Guide, March 15, 2007
By 
Andi Liebenbaum (Sacramento, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: New Supervisor Training (ASTD Trainer's Workshop Series) (Paperback)
I found this book to be well-written and very well-organized. I plan on using many of the structures and frameworks presented because they make good intuitive sense AND provide trainers with clues on what to look for to ensure trainings are working as planned. The ONLY disappointment with the book is that the lessons/examples/exercises it offers feel very old-school. My supervisors are younger, hipper and more sophisticated than the authors realize. I think their ideas, goals and structures make sense - I think they need to match those strengths with current, fun and relevant activites and lectures.

4.0 out of 5 stars Reasonable Suspicion Training is very hard to find good info, September 6, 2011
This review is from: New Supervisor Training (ASTD Trainer's Workshop Series) (Paperback)
I was searching all over the net, and only found 2 reputable sources of DOT information on Reasonable Suspicion Training - one was this book here, and the other was by Dan Feerst - his DOT Reasonable Suspicion Training documentation on CD / DVD here @ [...] are all absolutely fabulous! I included a link to his DOT reasonable suspicion training info because it's the best on I saw!

This review is from: New Supervisor Training (ASTD Trainer's Workshop Series) (Paperback)
I have been a trainer of supervisors for 5 years. As part of my training I routinely write or update curriculum. This book has provided a lot of input to my writing and updating as well as given me resources for "off the cuff" modifications that sometimes have to be made during training sessions.
