What I can do

The teaching and learning approach at Outwood Grange Academies Trust is guided by the Five Pillars of Teaching and Learning. These pillars are designed to foster effective teaching and enhance students' learning and self-regulation. Here is a summary of each pillar:

1. **Clarity of Learning Intentions**: This involves teachers clearly communicating with students about what they are learning in a lesson and the purpose behind it. This may include sharing and reviewing the subject's learning journeys with the students.

2. **Re-cap and Recall**: Teachers regularly revisit prior lessons to ensure students remember key information. This helps in reinforcing learning and ensuring foundational concepts are understood.

3. **New Information**: During lessons, teachers introduce and model new learning aligned with the topic questions shared at the beginning of the lesson. A variety of activities are designed to help students build their new understanding.

4. **Practice**: Regular opportunities are provided for students to practice, apply, and consolidate their learning. This can involve answering exam questions, solving problems, conducting experiments, writing essays, or performing skills in practical subjects.

5. **Feedback**: Timely feedback during lessons and through written comments provides students with insights into their progress. Feedback focuses on addressing misconceptions and offers guidance on how to improve. Students are encouraged to engage actively with feedback in dedicated Student Response Time (SRT) activities【4:0†source】【4:8†source】.
