What I can do
The Five Pillars of Teaching and Learning from Outwood Grange Academies Trust focus on enhancing effective teaching and supporting students' learning and self-regulation. Here they are:
1. **Clarity of Learning Intentions**: Clearly articulate and share with students what they are learning and why it is important, along with reviewing subject learning journeys with them.
2. **Re-cap and Recall**: Regularly revisit prior learning to reinforce and ensure retention of key information from previous lessons【4:0†source】.
3. **New Information**: Introduce and demonstrate new learning, tied to the lesson's topic, through a variety of activities to develop student understanding【4:8†source】.
4. **Practice**: Devise opportunities for students to practice, apply, and consolidate their understanding. This might include answering questions, solving problems, or performing skills【4:8†source】.
5. **Feedback**: Provide timely feedback during and after lessons. This feedback should address student progress, misconceptions, and offer guidance for further development. Students are encouraged to respond to feedback actively【4:8†source】.
These pillars encourage teachers to center their planning and delivery around active student participation and engagement【4:0†source】.
