Module Two: Lesson Planning in OST Programs

This module introduces the real-world barriers OST (Out-of-School Time) coordinators face when designing lessons. You’ll explore TEKS alignment, examine federal 21st CCLC evaluation data, and compare OST lessons to school-day lessons to understand structural differences. 

By the end of this module, participants will be able to:

• Identify common lesson planning challenges for OST staff.

• Understand why TEKS alignment matters in afterschool settings.

• Compare how school-day and OST lessons are structured.

• Consider how AI could support your planning.
