A Learners’ View (ALV) Is Of Choices On The Shortest And Fastest Path To Learning, The Oxygen Of Social Life.
If learning is to be, Teachers use ALV.
Main Page: Basic Choices of Teachers
Theme: Teachers choose through their instruction who is a learner of each lesson.
Hi Teach. … I give you conditional permission to teach me. You choose what, where, and when I should learn. I choose if and how I will learn and how it benefits me to do so. Them’s the rules. Please respect that teaching me is that simple. With respect, if you don’t believe me, try it your way as my other teachers done an’ see if you learn me as much as you can my way. (Ima Learner, 2011)
Ima Learner is anyone who pays attention to a physical sensation (sound, sight, smell, touch, etc.) that identifies a potential comfort or threat to that person. Comfort and threat are problems learners try to solve. Experimental behavioral and social scientists report that paying attention (responding) to physical sensations is the first step of learning. They conducted empirical experiments during more than a century that refine descriptions of these sensations and their uses to learn. Teachers use that attention to show people social patterns to choose and use to obtain comfort, safety, and other increases in life chances.
A learners’ view (ALV) consists of their reports of how people learn and of how educators and others used this view to increase learning even among those who perform below standards and some say fail to learn.
Not all learners are enrolled in schools and not all students in schools appear to behave as learners all of the time. Until, that is, teachers gain the attention of students in ways consistent with choices learners make to change their social patterns.

A teacher agrees by contract to increase learning of all students in a classroom. This agreement implies that teachers use a learners’ view (ALV), intentionally and inadvertently, to expose the learner in each student.
This teacher’s lesson plans identify what the teacher will do to gain attention, in seconds, of each of the 50 students or so in the classroom; how and in which order to present relevant detail of the content of the lesson in order for students in orde to obtain one of five generic outcomes. This teacher also has and uses a Plan B for each part of the lesson in case any learner does not complete Plan A.
Yes, 1.0 Teachers plan this way and obtain accelerated and increased learning by students in their classrooms. A Learners’ Code (ALC) from A Learners’ View (ALV) shows teachers how to accelerate, increase, and deepen (AID) learning through instruction of lessons.
