Promising Practices In OST Professional Development

Research in the out-of-school time (OST) field confirms that there is a strong connection between professional development for staff and positive outcomes for youth. The Out-of-School Time Resource Center (OSTRC) in the School of Social Policy and Practice at the University of Pennsylvania recently released Promising Practices in Out-of-School Time Professional Development. The document broadly defines OST professional development and summarizes promising practices in its design, implementation, and evaluation. The accompanying annotated bibliography describes 44 references that provide additional information on the topic.
