What I can do
The Five Pillars of Teaching and Learning at Outwood Grange Academies Trust focus on the following aspects:
1. **Clarity of Learning Intentions**: Teachers clearly share with students what they are learning in their lesson and why they are learning it. They also share and review subject learning journeys with their students【4:0†source】.
2. **Re-cap and Recall**: Teachers regularly revisit previous learning to ensure students remember key information from previous lessons【4:8†source】.
3. **New Information**: Teachers clearly introduce and model new learning in lessons linked to the topic question shared with students at the start of their lesson. A variety of activities are devised to enable students to develop their new understanding【4:8†source】.
4. **Practice**: Opportunities are frequently created for students to practice, apply, and consolidate their understanding during the lesson. This could involve answering an exam question, solving problems, conducting experiments, writing essays, or performing skills in practical subjects【4:8†source】.
5. **Feedback**: Teachers provide regular, timely feedback both during lessons and through written communication. The feedback focuses on how well students are progressing, addressing misconceptions, and providing clear guidance on further development. Students are encouraged to engage with all feedback in dedicated Student Response Time (SRT) activities【4:8†source】.
These pillars are designed to enhance effective teaching and support students' learning and self-regulation【4:0†source】.
