A leaners’ view (ALV) exists behind great teachers, those who offer concise, memorable lessons. Sometimes these teachers string a series of lessons together that maintains attention for an hour, sometimes longer.
From a learners’ view, their lessons share a way of making the complex simple, the mysterious tangible, the unknown knowable, the impossible possible. They have distinguished between fact and folklore of teaching, even before the invention of science. That’s been their job, whether by choice or by chance.
ALV represents the technical-scientific facts that great teachers use, a type of literacy. They begin each lesson with words and other symbols that their audience finds familiar, then takes them to something unfamiliar.
