What I can do

The Five Pillars of Teaching and Learning at Outwood Grange Academies Trust focus on enhancing effective teaching and support student learning and self-regulation. Here is how these pillars shape a lesson plan:

### Lesson Plan Format Using the Five Pillars

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

2. **Re-cap and Recall**
- Regularly revisit prior learning to ensure that students remember key information from previous lessons. This reinforces understanding and retention【4:8†source】.

3. **New Information**
- Introduce and model new learning clearly, linked to the topic question shared with students at the start of their lesson. Use a variety of activities to help students develop their new understanding【4:8†source】.

4. **Practice**
- Devise regular opportunities for students to practice, apply, and consolidate their understanding during the lesson. Activities may include answering an exam question, solving problems, conducting experiments, writing essays, or performing skills in practical subjects【4:8†source】.

5. **Feedback**
- Provide timely and regular feedback during lessons and through written feedback. Focus on how well students are doing, address misconceptions, and give clear guidance on how to improve further. Encourage students to engage with all feedback through dedicated Student Response Time (SRT) activities【4:8†source】.

These pillars serve as a structured framework that promotes active student participation and effective learning outcomes.
