What I can do

Here is a lesson plan template using the Five Pillars of Teaching and Learning approach from the Outwood Grange Academies Trust:

### Lesson Plan Using the Five Pillars

#### Clarity of Learning Intentions
- **Objective**: Clearly communicate to students what they are learning in this lesson and why it is important. Discuss the connection of today's lesson to the broader subject learning journey.
- **Activity**: Begin class with a brief discussion outlining the learning goals. Use visual aids such as a learning journey map to highlight how today's lesson fits within the overall curriculum.

#### Re-cap and Recall
- **Objective**: Help students recall key information from prior lessons.
- **Activity**: Start the lesson with a quick quiz or group discussion about previous topics. Encourage students to connect past content with current objectives.

#### New Information
- **Objective**: Introduce and model new learning in a clear manner that is linked to the lesson's objectives.
- **Activity**: Present new information through a lecture or multimedia presentation. Provide examples and conduct a modeling activity to demonstrate concepts.

#### Practice
- **Objective**: Create regular opportunities for students to practice and apply new knowledge to consolidate their understanding.
- **Activity**: Design activities such as problem-solving tasks, experiments, or group projects.
- **Examples**: Have students work on hands-on activities that relate to new concepts, such as role-playing in a historical lesson or conducting a simple scientific experiment.

#### Feedback
- **Objective**: Provide timely and constructive feedback during and after lessons.
- **Activity**: Use formative assessment techniques during activities and provide verbal or written feedback. Encourage student engagement with feedback through dedicated Student Response Time (SRT) activities.
- **Examples**: Use peer assessment during group work or provide short quizzes that are immediately self-graded in class for instant feedback.

This lesson plan framework ensures that every component adheres to the Five Pillars, promoting enhanced teaching effectiveness and supporting students' learning and self-regulation【4:0†source】【4:8†source】.
