What I can do
The five pillars of teaching and learning as detailed by the Outwood Grange Academies Trust are:
1. **Clarity of Learning Intentions**: Teachers clearly communicate with students what they are learning and why. This includes sharing and reviewing subject learning journeys【4:0†source】.
2. **Re-cap and Recall**: Teachers regularly revisit prior learning to ensure students retain key information from previous lessons【4:8†source】.
3. **New Information**: Teachers introduce and model new learning in lessons, linked to the topic question shared with students at the beginning. This involves a variety of activities to help students develop new understanding【4:8†source】.
4. **Practice**: Teachers provide regular opportunities for students to practice, apply, and consolidate their understanding during the lesson. This could involve tasks like answering exam questions, solving problems, conducting experiments, writing essays, or performing skills in practical subjects【4:8†source】.
5. **Feedback**: Teachers give timely feedback during lessons and through written responses, focusing on student progress, addressing misconceptions, and offering guidance on further development. Students are encouraged to engage with feedback during dedicated Student Response Time (SRT) activities【4:8†source】.
These pillars guide the lesson planning and teaching approaches to enhance both teaching effectiveness and student self-regulation【4:0†source】.
