What I can do
The Five Pillars of Teaching and Learning at Outwood Grange Academies Trust include:
1. **Clarity of Learning Intentions**: Teachers clearly share with students what they are learning in their lesson and why they are learning it. This includes sharing and reviewing the subject's learning journeys with students【4:0†source】.
2. **Re-cap and Recall**: Teachers regularly revisit prior 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 connected to the topic question shared at the start of the lesson. A variety of activities are designed to help students develop their new understanding【4:8†source】.
4. **Practice**: Teachers create regular opportunities for students to practice, apply, and consolidate their understanding during the lesson. This may include activities such as answering exam questions, solving problems, writing essays, or performing skills【4:8†source】.
5. **Feedback**: Teachers provide regular, timely feedback during lessons and through written feedback. Feedback focuses on student progress, addressing misconceptions, and providing clear guidance on further development. Students engage with feedback in dedicated Student Response Time (SRT) activities【4:8†source】.
These pillars aim to enhance effective teaching and support students’ learning and self-regulation【4:0†source】.
