Structured pedagogy

The Structured Pedagogy Approach is a ‘tightly knit package’ of teacher training, ongoing support and resources for teachers and children (Facing Forward, World Bank, 2018) This approach encompasses a well-coordinated set of resources to improve learning quality. A typical structured pedagogy programme comprises several essential components, including providing students with dedicated textbooks and materials on a one-to-one basis. Additionally, it offers teachers detailed guides with daily lesson plans catering to various specificity levels. Teacher training is a crucial aspect of structured pedagogy, focussing on honing specific teaching skills required for effective lesson delivery. Furthermore, ongoing teacher support, often involving coaching and collaborative communities, ensures the successful implementation of the structured pedagogy programme.

Scientific Principle of Learning

Structured Lesson Plans and Student Worksheets for Numeracy and Literacy are essential for classroom systematic FLN instruction. These lesson plans are designed based on six key principles:

Clear Learning Objectives and Key Vocabulary: Lesson plans outline what students should learn and include important vocabulary.
Active Learning: They engage students actively in the learning process.
Real-Life Connections: Lessons relate to real-life situations, making learning more relevant.
Structured Instructional Routine: Plans define individual lessons, monthly, and yearly goals.
Exploring 'How Things Work': They encourage students to ask questions and understand the "why" behind concepts.
Visual Aids: Lesson plans use icons and visuals to enhance classroom practices.

These principles are rooted in Structured Pedagogy and the Science of Learning, ensuring effective and evidence-based instruction.
