Keep the main teaching stages in view with this free, one-page Lesson Structure poster from Steady the Room.

Designed as a practical reference for post-primary and secondary teachers across subjects, the poster outlines an example lesson sequence from the entry routine and retrieval practice through modelling, a first independent attempt, independent practice and an exit ticket.

The visual flow includes:

• Entry Routine and Do Now
• Fluency and Retrieval Practice
• Introduction to New Material and the Learning Intention
• You Try: a short independent attempt to check readiness
• Launch Independent Work
• Independent Practice with feedback
• Exit Ticket
  A connected feedback loop highlights purposeful circulation, checking for understanding (CFU), one-to-one feedback, feedback codes, batched feedback and shared examples. The emphasis is on using what students show to decide whether to give feedback, re-model or let them continue.

Use it while planning a lesson, keep it beside your teaching materials, display it in a planning space or use it to support a mentoring or department conversation. It is a flexible example to adapt to your subject, class and learning goal.

Useful for student teachers, newly qualified teachers and experienced teachers who want a clear visual reminder of lesson flow and responsive teaching.
