What I can do

The Five Pillars of Teaching and Learning, as designed by Outwood Grange Academies Trust, form the basis of a structured lesson plan approach. Here's how you can implement these pillars in a lesson plan context:

### Lesson Plan Outline

**1. Clarity of Learning Intentions**
- Clearly share what students will be learning and the purpose behind it. This involves discussing learning objectives and how they tie into broader subject learning journeys【4:0†source】.

**2. Re-cap and Recall**
- Start each lesson by revisiting prior knowledge. This aids in reinforcing previously learned material and helps establish connections to new lessons【4:8†source】.

**3. New Information**
- Introduce and model new concepts and skills through a variety of instructional methods. The topic question should be clearly linked to the activities planned for developing the understanding【4:8†source】.

**4. Practice**
- Design activities that allow students to apply and consolidate their new knowledge and skills. This could involve solving problems, engaging in experiments, writing essays, or performing practical skills depending on the subject【4:8†source】.

**5. Feedback**
- Engage in providing timely feedback during and after lessons. Highlight students' strengths, identify misconceptions, and offer guidance for further development. Encourage students to participate actively in feedback through structured Student Response Time (SRT) activities【4:8†source】.

### Innovative Teaching Ideas

- **Use Collaborative Learning**: Employ group activities and discussions to encourage students to learn from each other and develop critical thinking skills. Implement peer teaching, where more knowledgeable students help explain concepts to their peers.

- **Integrate Technology**: Use online quizzes and interactive modules to make recapping fun and engaging. Virtual labs and simulations can help introduce new information in a dynamic way.

- **Project-Based Learning**: Allow students to work on projects that require the application of new knowledge, encouraging them to practice and solve real-world problems.

By structuring lessons around these pillars, teachers can create a cohesive and comprehensive learning experience that is both engaging and effective for students.
