What I can do
The Five Pillars of Teaching and Learning, as outlined by Outwood Grange Academies Trust, focus on the following key elements which underpin effective teaching and learning:
1. **Clarity of Learning Intentions**: Teachers clearly share with students what they are learning in their lesson and why they are learning it, including a review of the subject's learning journey【4:0†source】.
2. **Re-cap and Recall**: Teachers regularly go back over prior learning to ensure students remember key information from previous lessons【4:8†source】.
3. **New Information**: Teachers introduce and model new learning in lessons that are linked to the topic question shared with students at the start of their lesson【4:8†source】.
4. **Practice**: Teachers create regular opportunities for students to practice, apply, and consolidate their understanding, whether through answering exam questions, solving problems, or performing skills【4:8†source】.
5. **Feedback**: Teachers provide regular, timely feedback both during lessons and through written feedback. This feedback focuses on students' performance, addresses misconceptions, and gives clear guidance on how to develop further【4:8†source】.
These pillars are designed to enhance effective teaching and support students' learning and self-regulation by promoting active collaboration between teachers and students【4:0†source】.
