What I can do
The Five Pillars of Teaching and Learning, as outlined in the document, form the core framework for lesson planning, focusing on enhancing teaching effectiveness and supporting student learning and self-regulation【4:0†source】. Here's a breakdown of these pillars within a lesson plan framework:
### Lesson Plan
#### Clarity of Learning Intentions
- **Objective**: Clearly articulate what students will learn and why it is important.
- **Activities**:
- Begin with a discussion of the lesson's goals.
- Share and review the subject's learning journey with students to provide context【4:0†source】.
#### Re-cap and Recall
- **Objective**: Revisit previous material to strengthen retention and understanding.
- **Activities**:
- Use quick quizzes or questions to review prior knowledge.
- Prompt group discussions to connect previous lessons with the current topic【4:8†source】.
#### New Information
- **Objective**: Introduce and explain new content effectively.
- **Activities**:
- Present new information through a combination of lectures and visual aids.
- Engage students with interactive demonstrations or multimedia.
- Link back to the topic question shared at the start of the lesson【4:8†source】.
#### Practice
- **Objective**: Provide opportunities for students to apply and consolidate new knowledge.
- **Activities**:
- Facilitate practice through hands-on activities, such as experiments, problem solving, or creative projects.
- Encourage peer collaboration to solve complex tasks【4:8†source】.
#### Feedback
- **Objective**: Provide timely and constructive feedback to students.
- **Activities**:
- Use formative assessments to gauge understanding.
- Conduct one-on-one or small group feedback sessions focused on addressing misconceptions.
- Facilitate Student Response Time (SRT) activities where students reflect and act on feedback【4:8†source】.
This framework encourages active learning and helps students become partners in their learning journey by clearly signposting lesson activities and home learning【4:0†source】.
