What I can do
The Five Pillars of Teaching and Learning at Outwood Grange Academies Trust that form the foundation for lesson planning and delivery are as follows:
1. **Clarity of Learning Intentions**: Teachers clearly communicate what the students are learning in their lesson and why it is important. This includes sharing and reviewing the learning journeys within the subject area.
2. **Re-cap and Recall**: Teachers regularly revisit previously learned material to ensure students retain key information from past lessons【4:8†source】.
3. **New Information**: Teachers introduce and model new learning aligned with the topic question presented to students at the start of the lesson. Various activities are designed to help students develop new understandings【4:9†source】.
4. **Practice**: Opportunities for practice are regularly constructed to allow students to apply and cement their understanding during lessons. This can include answering exam questions, solving problems, conducting experiments, writing essays, or performing skills in practical subjects【4:10†source】.
5. **Feedback**: Teachers provide timely feedback during lessons and through written comments. This feedback assesses student progress, addresses misconceptions, and gives guidance for further development. Students are encouraged to engage with all feedback during dedicated Student Response Time (SRT) activities【4:8†source】.
