What I can do
In the Outwood Grange Academies Trust's teaching approach, lesson plans are structured around the "Five Pillars of Teaching and Learning." These pillars are:
1. **Clarity of Learning Intentions**: Teachers ensure students understand what they are learning and why. This includes outlining learning journeys within the subject.
2. **Re-cap and Recall**: Regularly revisiting previous lessons to reinforce knowledge and ensure students remember key information.
3. **New Information**: Introducing and modeling new learning with clear links to the topic question shared at the beginning of the lesson. Activities are designed to help students develop new understandings.
4. **Practice**: Providing opportunities during lessons to practice, apply, and consolidate understanding. This might involve tasks like solving problems, conducting experiments, or performing skills in practical subjects.
5. **Feedback**: Offering timely and regular feedback during and after lessons. Feedback focuses on performance, addresses misconceptions, and provides guidance for further development. Students are encouraged to engage with feedback through dedicated Student Response Time (SRT) activities【4:0†source】.
