What I can do

The Five Pillars of Teaching and Learning approach from Outwood Grange Academies Trust includes the following elements that you can incorporate into your lesson planning:

1. **Clarity of Learning Intentions**: Clearly share with students what they are learning in the lesson and why it is important. Discuss the learning journey with students to provide context and relevance【4:0†source】.

2. **Re-cap and Recall**: Regularly revisit previous learning to ensure students retain key information from earlier lessons【4:8†source】.

3. **New Information**: Introduce and model new learning effectively, linking it to the overarching topic question and employing diverse activities to help students develop new understandings【4:8†source】.

4. **Practice**: Provide regular opportunities for students to practice and apply their learning to consolidate their understanding. This can involve various activities such as solving problems, writing essays, or performing practical skills【4:8†source】.

5. **Feedback**: Deliver regular and timely feedback both during and after lessons, focusing on students' progress, addressing misconceptions, and offering guidance for further development. Encourage students to engage with feedback through Student Response Time activities【4:8†source】.

You can design lesson plans around these pillars to structure and enhance student learning. This approach not only supports the delivery of content but also empowers students to take an active role in their learning process.
