Back cover
Alistair Smith is the leading UK trainer
in the use of Accelerated Learning techniques in the
classroom. His methods are used with startling success
by thousands of teachers and lecturers in the UK and
abroad. His reputation as a writer and presenter is
based on thorough research and an ability to communicate
fresh ideas in a lively, engaging and challenging way.
Nicola Call started her teaching career
in Inner London, rising rapidly to become Deputy Head
of three primary schools. When she met Alistair Smith,
Nicola was beginning to put theory into practice at
her school on the outskirts of London's Heathrow airport.
The most measurable result of this work was when 100
per cent of her Year 6 students attained Level 5 in
their science SATs, but of equal importance was the
incredible academic confidence of the children who experienced
these methods. Nicola now lives in California where
she combines writing with research into Accelerated
Learning work in schools.
The alps resource book is structured
carefully to extend the theoretical and practical advice
given in the alps approach and provides hands-on materials
