What I can do
The five pillars of teaching and learning from the Outwood Grange Academies Trust are designed to enhance effective teaching and support students' learning and self-regulation. They include:
1. **Clarity of Learning Intentions**: Teachers need to clearly communicate what students will be learning and why. This involves sharing and reviewing subject learning journeys with students.
2. **Re-cap and Recall**: It's important for teachers to regularly revisit prior learning to ensure that students retain key information from previous lessons【4:0†source】.
3. **New Information**: New learning should be clearly introduced and modeled, involving a range of activities to help students develop their understanding【4:8†source】.
4. **Practice**: Teachers should create regular opportunities for students to practice, apply, and consolidate their understanding during lessons. This can include tasks like solving problems, carrying out experiments, or writing essays【4:9†source】.
5. **Feedback**: Providing timely and regular feedback is key. This helps students understand how they are performing, addresses any misconceptions, and provides guidance on further development【4:13†source】.
These pillars aim to make the learning process more effective by involving students as active partners in their education. Teachers support student engagement by clearly signposting lesson activities and home learning【4:0†source】.
