What I can do
The lesson plans using the Outwood Grange Academies Trust's "Five Pillars of Teaching and Learning" approach should be organized as follows:
### Clarity of Learning Intentions
- Clearly share with students what they are learning and the purpose of the lesson.
- Explain the subject's learning journey, ensuring students understand where the lesson fits into their broader educational path【4:0†source】.
### Re-cap and Recall
- Regularly review prior learning to ensure that students recall important information from previous lessons【4:8†source】.
### New Information
- Clearly introduce and model new learning, making connections to the topic question outlined at the start of the lesson.
- Use a variety of activities to help students build their new understanding【4:8†source】.
### Practice
- Provide regular opportunities for students to practice, apply, and consolidate their understanding during the lesson.
- This may involve answering questions, solving problems, conducting experiments, writing essays, or performing skills relevant to the subject【4:8†source】.
### Feedback
- Give regular, timely feedback both during class and through written assessments.
- Feedback should focus on student performance, address misconceptions, and offer guidance for improvement.
- Encourage students to engage with feedback through dedicated Student Response Time (SRT) activities【4:8†source】.
This structure helps facilitate a well-rounded educational experience that supports student engagement, understanding, and achievement through clear learning goals, consistent review, effective teaching of new content, practice opportunities, and constructive feedback.
