A Learners’ View (ALV) Is Of Choices On The Shortest And Fastest Path To Learning, The Oxygen Of Social Life.
TO USE ALV for Teachers, blend choices you make as teacher during lessons with choices people make while learning. In other words, make lessons fit choices learners will likely make to learn your lessons.
This guide describes ways teachers blend choices of learners into lessons. It emphasizes simple ways you may use for learners to make choices that result in learning your lessons.
1. Observe Learning: Use ALV to choose what to watch and hear while learner learn.
2. Increase Learning: Reduce trials-and-errors of learners by strategically arranging active ingredients (elements) of learning in strings of 20 second lessons.
3. Discuss, Write, and Report Learning: Use words and terms that represent what humans can see and hear without making inferences or using special equipment.
4. Identify the Priority of ALV in Archtypes of Instruction: Value patterns of instruction according to the efficiency of learning they yield.
5. Analyze Content for a Lesson: Identify essential components (active ingredients of learning) of subject matter of a lesson.
6. Use the Triple-Helix of Learning to structure a Lesson: Blend ALV principles of instruction, and subject matter into a lesson.
7. Write a Plan for a 20 Second Lesson: Use steps to write this mini-lesson.
8. Write a String of 20 Second Lesson Plans: Use one or more strings of 20 Second Lessons to meet an objective for a class period.
9 . Simplify Lesson Plans: Backward chain your plan starting with your objective for the lesson.
10. Simplify Instruction: Reduce the amount of time for each lesson.
