A Learners’ View (ALV) Is Of Choices On The Straightest and Fastest Path To Learning, The Oxygen Of Social Life
Edit Lessons Ruthlessly
Classic Education shows you how you may join those who use ALV to plan and instruct lessons in ways that result in accelerated, increased, and deeper (AIDed) learning. It can guide you:
1. To focus on those patterns and parts of lessons that increase the likelihood that learners will learn what you want them to learn;
2. To give priority to patterns of behavior learners use to learn lesson content, such as (a) to identify behavior patterns that have shaped our understanding of the contemporary universe, of how people viewed their own world in their time, and of how others view(ed) it later; (b) to identify and demonstrate uses of these patterns in today’s universe; and (c) to identify common and uncommon elements in patterns across human behavior; and [Say What?]
3. To sweep away the clutter in lessons that does not contribute directly and promptly to learning from your lessons.
Use this site as a “how to” of teaching based on what people do to learn. It identifies do’s and don’ts of the task of instruction and says how these rules fit with what people do to learn.
It includes examples of how educators, parents, and others have used principles of ALV to accelerate and increase learning, sometimes promptly and dramatically.
It outlines ways to identify and plan which trial-and-error by learners to include in lessons and how to eliminate others.
It includes descriptions, protocols, applications, and assessments of learning and of how people use these tools in lessons that accelerate and increase the amount and depth of learning.
It offers social scientists glimpes into a foundation upon which relationships among people rests.
