What I can do

The Five Pillars of Teaching and Learning approach focuses on enhancing effective teaching and supporting students’ learning and self-regulation. It involves the following components:

1. **Clarity of Learning Intentions**: Teachers should clearly share with students what they are learning in their lesson and why they are learning it. This includes sharing and reviewing subject learning journeys【4:0†source】.

2. **Re-cap and Recall**: Teachers regularly revisit prior learning to ensure students remember key information from previous lessons【4:9†source】.

3. **New Information**: Teachers introduce and model new learning by linking it to the topic question at the start of the lesson. A variety of activities are utilized to enable students to develop their new understanding【4:9†source】.

4. **Practice**: Teachers provide regular opportunities for students to practice, apply, and consolidate their understanding through various activities, such as answering exam questions, solving problems, or performing skills in practical subjects【4:9†source】.

5. **Feedback**: Timely feedback is given during lessons and in written form. It focuses on students' performance, addresses misconceptions, and provides guidance for further development. Students are encouraged to engage with all feedback through dedicated Student Response Time (SRT) activities【4:9†source】.

By centering their planning and delivery around these pillars, teachers promote active student engagement and participation in the learning process【4:0†source】.
