Oliver Caviglioli has been using mapping in his professional and personal life for over twenty-five years. He is headteacher of a special school, and has a family, but finds time to share his skills by leading training courses in schools, on Model Mapping, Accelerated Learning and Thinking Skills. Ian Harris is an educational and business trainer specialising in Model Mapping, Accelerated Learning and Thinking Skills. Ian used Model Mapping with children of all ages and abilities during his twelve years of teaching, of which he spent three years as a SENCO and two as a deputy headteacher. Here, Oliver Caviglioli and Ian Harris have drawn upon research from a wide range of disciplines, and elegantly brought together theory and over thirty years of teaching experience, in a book that offers clarity, purpose and all kinds of new possibilities for teachers and students.
