The premise

ELT programs succeed on logistics and relevance. AI helps with both; school teams must own the relevance.

What AI does well here

Draft program-structure options with intervention and enrichment balance
Generate family-facing communication and registration materials
Suggest transportation and meal-coordination considerations
Compare proposed structure against published ELT best practices

ELT design prompt

State your school context, ELT funding source, and target student groups. Ask for two program structure options with weekly schedules and family communication drafts.

Check-in 1. Got it so far?

What AI cannot do

Recruit and retain quality staff for ELT roles
Replace community needs assessment
Substitute for student-voice input on offerings
Negotiate logistics with transportation providers

ELT is not just more school

Extending the day with the same approach that failed during the day backfires. The block needs different design.

Key terms in this lesson

extended learning time
ELT block design
enrichment vs intervention
transportation logistics
family engagement

Check-in 2. Got it so far?

Design AI into your lesson

Don't just use AI for prep — build AI literacy into the activity. Students who use AI critically learn more than those who avoid it or use it uncritically.
