What I can do
The lesson planning approach at Outwood Grange Academies Trust focuses on the Five Pillars of Teaching and Learning, which are:
1. **Clarity of Learning Intentions**: This involves clearly sharing with students what they are learning in the lesson and why. Teachers share and review subject learning journeys with their students.
2. **Re-cap and Recall**: Regularly going back over prior learning to ensure students remember key information from previous lessons.
3. **New Information**: Teachers clearly introduce and model new learning in lessons linked to the topic question at the start of the lesson. They devise a variety of activities to help students develop their new understanding.
4. **Practice**: Opportunities are provided for students to practice, apply, and consolidate their understanding during the lesson, such as through answering questions, solving problems, experiments, essays, or practical skills.
5. **Feedback**: Regular and timely feedback is provided during lessons and through written feedback. This feedback focuses on student performance, addresses misconceptions, and gives clear guidance on how to develop further. Students are encouraged to engage with all feedback in dedicated Student Response Time (SRT) activities【4:0†source】.
These pillars are fundamental in planning and delivering lessons effectively.
