The learning framework

Anatomy of a focused lesson

Each session moves from a clear focus to guided practice and a quick check for understanding.

10 minutes

Retrieve and connect

Open with a short retrieval quiz on the earlier skills the new topic depends on, so gaps are caught before they cause problems.

25 minutes

Worked examples and practice

Step through worked examples with clear setting out, then move to independent questions that build from routine practice to problem solving.

10 minutes

Check for mastery

Close with assessment-style questions that show what is secure and what to revisit next lesson.
