What I can do
To create an effective lesson plan using the Five Pillars of Teaching and Learning, as outlined by the Outwood Grange Academies Trust, here is a structured guideline:
### Lesson Plan
#### Clarity of Learning Intentions
- **Objective:** Clearly outline the learning objectives for the lesson. Explain what students are learning and why it is important.
- **Action:** Share and review the subject's learning journey with students to provide context and relevance【4:0†source】.
#### Re-cap and Recall
- **Objective:** Reinforce previous learning to ensure retention of key information.
- **Action:** Begin the lesson with a brief review of past lessons. Use questioning techniques or quick quizzes to stimulate memory and understanding【4:8†source】.
#### New Information
- **Objective:** Introduce and explain new content clearly and effectively.
- **Action:** Present the new topic using various teaching methods such as demonstrations, discussions, or multimedia aids. Connect the new information to the topic question shared at the beginning【4:8†source】.
#### Practice
- **Objective:** Allow students to apply and consolidate their understanding of new information.
- **Action:** Organize activities such as problem-solving exercises, experiments, or creative projects that enable practical application of learned concepts【4:8†source】.
#### Feedback
- **Objective:** Provide timely and constructive feedback to guide student learning.
- **Action:** During the lesson, circulate and give on-the-spot feedback. Follow up with detailed written feedback addressing strengths and areas for improvement. Encourage students to reflect on and respond to feedback during dedicated Student Response Time (SRT)【4:8†source】.
#### Collaborative Learning Idea
- **Group Work:** Divide students into small groups to discuss key questions from the lesson. Each group presents their conclusions, promoting peer learning and broadening perspectives.
This lesson plan framework, based on the Five Pillars, aims to enhance teaching effectiveness and support student learning and self-regulation【4:0†source】.
