INCOMPLETE DRAFT

THIS GUIDE, identifies a path of choices school administrators may take to support teachers move  toward 1.0 Teaching and their systems and operations toward 1.0 Schools, that is, toward teaching that results in everyone learning everything teachers teach. The ALV Path of learning serves as the priority for administrative choices. The ALV Path consists of a minimum of 15 choices by learners that result in learning a lesson. 1.0 Schools provide supports for teachers to earn 1.0 ratings, and together earn 1.0 School rating.

ALV for School Administrators identifies ways for you to blend your choices with choices of teachers during lessons that most likely blend with choices of learners while learning. The blending of teacher choices with learner choices likely increases the chances of offering 1.0 Teaching. By implication, administrative choices that blend with teacher choices during lessons supports increasing the likelihood of 1.0 Teaching and 1.0 Schools.

The good news is that whenever someone learns something from a teacher, the instruction of that lesson matched choices learners made while learning it. ALV gives priority to those choices. This guide shows, tells, etc. ways for school administrators to match choices of teachers in lesson plans, during instruction, and to identify these choices in assessments of results from lessons.

School administrators familiar with the contents of Classic Education: A Learners’ View (ALV) of Choices … have an advantage over those unfamiliar with distinctions in vocabulary of teaching and learning as technical-scientific social activities from more familiar talk about education.

This guide serves primarily as a reference rather than a textbook. The practical use of this guide occurs with practice more than with conversion to a belief system about teaching and learning.
