[edit] INTRODUCTION
This guide describes ways to use a learners’ view (ALV) when teaching. ALV is a decisive companion for planning and instructing lessons. Use of this view offers the satisfaction of increasing the academic performance of others in and out of schools.
First, it describes a model and A Template of a Lesson from A Learners’ View (ALV Template) and how to use it.
Second, it adapts Madeline Cheek Hunter’s and other formats for planning instruction to A Learners’ View of a lesson.
Third, it describes how to use ALV, if you use your own unnamed procedures to plan and instruct your lessons, even those conducted on-the-fly.
This infrastructure of ALV accounts for learning that occurs when you address Bloom’s taxonomy of educational objectives, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs as well as through whatever you may do during a lesson.
These lists describe what you do and the content you present. ALV describes what learners do to learn from your lesson during your instruction.
Throughout this guide, you’ll find tools and inspiration for using ALV to plan and instruct your lessons for more efficient learning. It prompts you to blend your plans and instruction with ALV when you express your creativity with your students. These tools are dedicated to helping you preserve the high standards and quality of education you expect from your teaching.
As you become more comfortable using ALV, you will likely see student learning rates increasing dramatically and promptly to levels described for the New Era School Initiative (NESI).
