Fundamentals for Using ALV (a Learners’ View) Checklists received an update, including fixing broken links. This page begins with the assumption that educators gamble through lessons with the time, effort, and other personal resources of learners. In other words, educators can at least estimate – if not calculate – before instruction the odds of learners learning each lesson. For example, if today’s lesson is similar in structure, content, and instruction as yesterday’s lesson, then the same number of students will likely learn both lessons. The page then describes background for why ALV Checklists remind educators of choices to make that likely AID (accelerate, increase, and deepen) learning promptly.
