Not as hands-on as the Pocket Instructor, but the MLA Options for Teaching series is also useful! And Bloomsbury have a range of useful pedagogical texts (in addition to Collier), e.g. Making Poetry Happen and A Poetry Pedagogy for Teachers.

That's the one I'm currently reading (after careful consideration!). So far, I think it reads quite well. I think this was done before they became a translation machine?
