The new post How do I use ALV? describes ways you can use ALV as have other teachers, parents, and trainers. ALV describes choices learners will likely make while learning.
Match what you do with what learners will likely do (that you can see, hear, and in other ways sense) to learn from your lesson.
Learners determine whether instruction matches their choices. Learners will likely respond the way you want them to respond when you match their choices. In this way, you will more likely become that 1.0 teacher your students remember for what they learned through the Common Core Curriculum.
In short, a key to knowing when you are using ALV is learner response, not teacher, parent, or trainer intent.
