Customer Reviews

ENVoY - THE BEST BOOK OUT THERE!

I have read the previous reviews (two very positive and two very negative). I whole-heartedly agree with the two people giving this book and Mr. Grinder high praise for his scholarly work!I have had the opportunity to be personally trained by Michael Grinder and I can tell you for certain, He is no joke, nor is his work! He has put a lot of time and effort into this project and there is a reason for literally EVERYTHING he has done in this book. Those individuals writing poor reviews about this book either know NOTHING about classroom management, or have NEVER read the book. The $25 this book is currently selling for is not enough. I have taught several years in a high impact school where classroom management skills were a must. Nothing helped me more than reading, and USING the multiple skills presented in Michael Grinder's book. If you are looking for an invaluable classroom management tool (with the proven research principles of Neurolinguistic Programming woven throughout), then you should look no further than ENVoY: Your Personal Guide To Classroom Management.

The nano-technology of human behavior

Michael is one of the most perceptive and effective presenters that I've personally experienced. Short of such a privilege to model after him in person, this book is an excellent substitute or beginning to learning the very subtle non-verbal skills for any presenter or classroom management.

All teachers would find this book indispensible.

Effective classroom management depends not only on what teachers say but also on the nonverbal messages teachers send to the their students. Why didn't someone tell me that when I was training to be a teacher?! After nine years in education, I finally found specific, useful advice on how to become a much better communicator with my students. Recently, my tenure review committee told me that I needed to work on "getting out of [my] head and out there with the students," but they did not give me specifics on what I needed to do. Michael's book helped me to understand what they were saying and what I had to do to improve group dynamics.
