Structuring Out-of-School Time to Improve Academic Achievement

摘要

This guide is intended to help educators, out-of-school time (OST) program providers, and school and district administrators structure academically focused out-of-school time programs. OST is an opportunity to supplement learning from the school day and provide targeted assistance to students whose needs extend beyond what they can receive in the classroom. With an increasing focus on school accountability and student performance, OST can play a meaningful role in improving academic achievement and closing the gap between low-and high-performing students.
