What I can do

The Five Pillars of Teaching and Learning approach from the Outwood Grange Academies Trust focuses on enhancing effective teaching and supporting students’ learning and self-regulation. The pillars are designed to structure lesson planning and delivery effectively. Here's a summary of what you can do with this approach:

1. **Clarity of Learning Intentions**: Clearly share and articulate with students what they will be learning in the lesson and why it is important. This includes sharing and reviewing the subject's learning journey with students【4:0†source】.

2. **Re-cap and Recall**: Regularly revisit prior learning to ensure students retain and recall key information from previous lessons【4:8†source】.

3. **New Information**: Clearly introduce and model new learning, connecting it to the topic question shared at the start of the lesson. This involves using a variety of activities to help students develop an understanding of new concepts【4:8†source】.

4. **Practice**: Devise regular opportunities for students to practice and consolidate their understanding during the lesson. This could include activities such as answering exam questions, solving problems, carrying out experiments, writing essays, or performing practical skills【4:8†source】.

5. **Feedback**: Provide regular, timely feedback during lessons and through written comments. The feedback should focus on student performance, address misconceptions, and provide clear guidance on further development. Encourage students to engage with feedback through dedicated Student Response Time (SRT) activities【4:8†source】.

Using these pillars, you can create a structured and effective learning environment that actively involves students as partners in their learning journey【4:1†source】.

plan me a lesson for Y12 based on the AQA RE Alevel Christianity which covers the different views of the Bible

Here's a lesson plan for a Year 12 A-Level Religious Education class focusing on Christianity, specifically addressing the different views of the Bible, structured around the Five Pillars:

### Lesson Plan: Different Views of the Bible

#### Clarity of Learning Intentions
- **Objective**: Students will explore and understand the different Christian views on the authority and interpretation of the Bible.
- **Why it's important**: Understanding the diversity of biblical interpretation is crucial for a comprehensive study of Christianity and its impact on theology and practice.
- **Learning Outcomes**: By the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
- Identify and explain different views of the Bible, such as literal, liberal, and contextual interpretations.
- Evaluate how these views influence Christian life and theology.

#### Re-cap and Recall
- Begin with a quick recap of prior knowledge, asking students to recall key concepts from previous lessons on Christianity.
- Use a short quiz or a mind map exercise to review terms like ‘canon’, ‘hermeneutics’, and ‘revelation’.

#### New Information
- **Presentation**: Use a slide deck to introduce the new topic.
- Define key terms such as 'inerrancy', 'inspiration', and 'hermeneutics'.
- Explain the literal view (e.g., Bible as the literal word of God), the liberal view (e.g., Bible as a guide that needs interpretation), and the contextual approach (e.g., considering historical and cultural contexts).
- **Discussion**: Pose questions to prompt discussion, such as how these views might influence the understanding of moral issues.

#### Practice
- **Activity**: Divide the class into groups, each assigned a specific view (literal, liberal, contextual).
- Each group prepares a short presentation on how their assigned view interprets a particular Bible passage (e.g., Genesis creation account).
- **Debate**: Facilitate a class debate where groups present their interpretations and respond to questions.

#### Feedback
- Provide immediate verbal feedback during group presentations and the debate.
- Encourage peer feedback by having groups reflect on each other's presentations.
- **Student Response Time (SRT)**: After feedback, allow students time to adjust their understanding or presentations.

### Assessment
- **Homework**: Assign an essay where students compare two different views of the Bible and discuss which they find more persuasive and why.
- **Feedback on Homework**: Provide detailed written comments focusing on argument clarity, use of evidence, and depth of analysis.

By using collaborative learning structures such as group activities and discussion, this lesson plan encourages active participation and deeper understanding of the complex topic of biblical interpretation.
