What I can do
The teaching and learning approach at Outwood Grange Academies Trust revolves around the "Five Pillars of Teaching and Learning." These pillars are designed to enhance teaching effectiveness and support students' learning and self-regulation. Here is a concise summary of these pillars essential for creating a lesson plan:
1. **Clarity of Learning Intentions**: Teachers clearly communicate what the students are learning and why, using subject learning journeys to support this clarity.
2. **Re-cap and Recall**: Regular review of prior learning ensures students remember key information from previous lessons.
3. **New Information**: Teachers introduce and model new learning. A variety of activities help students develop their understanding of the new material.
4. **Practice**: Opportunities for practice during lessons are essential, which might include answering questions, solving problems, or performing practical skills.
5. **Feedback**: Teachers provide regular and timely feedback during and after lessons. This feedback focuses on student progress, addresses misconceptions, and offers guidance for development【4:0†source】【4:8†source】.
