What I can do
The file you uploaded outlines the "Five Pillars of Teaching and Learning" approach used by Outwood Grange Academies Trust. These pillars are essential components for enhancing effective teaching and supporting students' learning and self-regulation. Here’s an explanation of the Five Pillars, which can be used to develop a lesson plan:
1. **Clarity of Learning Intentions**:
- Teachers explicitly share with students what they are learning and why. This includes reviewing subject learning journeys to provide a clear direction on the lesson's goals.
2. **Re-cap and Recall**:
- Teachers regularly revisit previous content to ensure students retain and recall essential information from prior lessons.
3. **New Information**:
- New learning materials and instruction are introduced clearly. Teachers use a variety of activities to help students develop a comprehensive understanding of new concepts. This step is aligned with the topic questions shared at the lesson's beginning.
4. **Practice**:
- Opportunities are created for students to practice, apply, and consolidate their understanding of the material. This can involve different activities such as solving problems, conducting experiments, or performing practical skills.
5. **Feedback**:
- Timely and regular feedback is given to students, focusing on their progress, identifying misconceptions, and providing clear instructions for improvement. Students engage with this feedback through dedicated Student Response Time (SRT) activities【4:0†source】.
Using these pillars, you can plan effective lessons that are clear, engaging, and supportive of student learning. To implement this approach practically, ensure each lesson clearly outlines the intentions, regularly revisits past content, introduces new materials methodically, allows ample practice, and provides constructive feedback.
