If you want something more specific, you need to specify whether you are doing primary training, instrument training, multiengine, etc. and what kinds of questions you have about it.
You know the lessons New CFI's learned that wasnt in the Books....lol

Multiple Intelligences
I highly recommend this source then, and some research on eastern versus western learning styles. It can open your eyes to some interesting new ideas on how a person learns.
Disclaimer: The FOI is great reread it twice since graduating last year and use it daily.

One great book written for new CFI's is called "The Savvy Flight Instructor: Secrets of the Successful CFI" by Gregory Brown.
Great book. Lots of interesting ideas on how to get started as a CFI and methods of getting and servicing customers.

Flight Instructing Books and Material
Like mention by an earlier post, "The Savvy Flight Instructor: Secrets of the Successful CFI" is invaluable. It is one of the best books I've ever read about flight instructing. Really gets you motivated to get out there are teach people to fly.
But here are a few of the books that I have used and found very useful:
Hope these help!

I recommend this book to all new or soon to be flight instructors, The Flight Instructors Manual
Bill Kershner has some great advice and ideas on how to actually teach (not just fly) the maneuvers. Plus, he has that kick ass Piper Cub jacket.
