What I can do
The five pillars of teaching and learning at Outwood Grange Academies Trust are designed to enhance effective teaching and support students' learning and self-regulation. Here's a brief overview of the Five Pillars:
1. **Clarity of Learning Intentions**: Teachers explicitly share what students are learning and why, often linking these intentions to the broader learning journey of the subject【4:0†source】.
2. **Re-cap and Recall**: Regular revisiting of past lessons is employed to ensure students retain key information from previous sessions【4:8†source】.
3. **New Information**: Introduction and modeling of new learning take place with various activities to foster understanding, all related to a topic question presented at the lesson's start【4:8†source】.
4. **Practice**: Students are provided with regular opportunities to practice, apply, and consolidate their understanding, whether by solving problems, writing essays, or performing practical skills【4:8†source】.
5. **Feedback**: Regular, timely feedback is provided during and after lessons. This feedback focuses on student performance, addresses misconceptions, and offers guidance for further development. Engagement with feedback is encouraged through activities designed for Student Response Time (SRT)【4:8†source】.
These pillars can be integrated into a lesson plan to ensure a structured approach to teaching and learning.
