What I can do

Based on the Five Pillars of Teaching and Learning approach from Outwood Grange Academies Trust, you can create a lesson plan that enhances effective teaching while supporting students' learning and self-regulation. These pillars are as follows:

1. **Clarity of Learning Intentions**: Clearly share with students what they are learning in their lesson and explain why it is important. Review the subject learning journeys with the students to ensure they understand the path and objectives of the lesson.

2. **Re-cap and Recall**: Regularly revisit prior learning to ensure students remember key information from previous lessons. This helps in reinforcing the knowledge and forming a solid foundation for new information.

3. **New Information**: Introduce and model new learning in a clear manner. Connect it to the lesson’s topic question that was shared with students at the start. Use a variety of activities to help students develop their new understanding.

4. **Practice**: Provide opportunities to practice, apply, and consolidate understanding during the lesson. This could include answering exam questions, solving problems, conducting experiments, writing essays, or performing practical skills.

5. **Feedback**: Offer regular, timely feedback during lessons and in written form. Ensure feedback addresses students' performance, misconceptions, and provides guidance on how to improve further. Encourage students to engage with this feedback in activities like Student Response Time (SRT)【4:0†source】【4:8†source】.

These pillars can guide the construction of lesson plans, ensuring a balanced and student-focused approach to teaching.
