What I can do

To effectively use the Five Pillars of Teaching and Learning for lesson planning, you can follow the structure prescribed by the Outwood Grange Academies Trust. Here's a breakdown of the pillars and how they could be incorporated into a lesson plan【4:0†source】:

### Lesson Plan Framework

#### Clarity of Learning Intentions
- **Objective**: Clearly articulate what students are learning and why.
- **Implementation**: Introduce the subject's learning journeys and objectives at the beginning of the lesson and review them regularly to ensure students understand the purpose and goals of what they are learning.

#### Re-cap and Recall
- **Objective**: Reinforce prior learning to ensure retention.
- **Implementation**: Regularly revisit key concepts from previous lessons to aid retention and understanding. This could be through quick quizzes, discussions, or summary activities.

#### New Information
- **Objective**: Present and model new learning clearly linked to the lesson's objectives.
- **Implementation**: Introduce new content through direct instruction and modeling. Make use of varied activities to help students understand new concepts, such as interactive demonstrations, videos, or guided practice sessions.

#### Practice
- **Objective**: Allow students to apply and consolidate new knowledge.
- **Implementation**: Provide structured opportunities for students to engage with new information. This may involve problem-solving exercises, group discussions, practical experiments, or written tasks that reinforce learning.

#### Feedback
- **Objective**: Offer regular and timely feedback on student progress.
- **Implementation**: Provide both verbal and written feedback that focuses on student understanding and areas for improvement. Encourage students to use feedback to enhance their learning during dedicated Student Response Time (SRT) activities【4:8†source】.

### Collaborative Learning Structures
- **Group Activities**: Encourage students to work in pairs or small groups to solve problems, allowing for peer instruction and concept reinforcement.
- **Discussion Circles**: Use these to facilitate open discussions about new material, improving comprehension through dialogue.
- **Peer Review**: Implement peer assessment sessions where students give and receive feedback, fostering a collaborative and supportive learning environment.

By integrating these pillars into your lesson planning, you can create a structured and student-centered environment that supports both teaching efficacy and student learning.
