Streamline Your Planning: Introducing OTAN’s New Course Outline Builder

Name Streamline Your Planning: Introducing OTAN’s New Course Outline Builder
Date Monday, June 22, 2026
Time 01:00 PM - 02:00 PM
Description

Does the thought of mapping out a full year (or term, or semester) of curriculum feel overwhelming? You are not alone. Course outlines are foundational to effective school planning and teacher support, but building them from scratch can be a daunting task.

To make this process seamless, we are excited to share OTAN’s newly released Course Outline Builder! Join us for a one-hour, interactive webinar where we will guide you through the "why" and "how" of building an effective course outline. We will break down how course outlines serve as a useful pacing guide for teachers, how they differ from a syllabus, and how to approach building one with confidence.

What we will cover:

  • The Fundamentals: The purpose of course outlines, how they fit into course planning, and how schools can use them to support teachers.
  • Live Tool Walkthrough: A guided tour of the Builder’s fields, features, and specific California Department of Education (CDE) required elements.
  • Hands-on Practice and Q + A: Time for you to log in, try the Builder out for yourself, and get your questions answered live by the creators.

Whether you are an administrator looking to support your staff or a teacher mapping out your course, this webinar will equip you with a powerful, free tool to simplify your year.

Note: The Course Outline Builder was designed to meet CDE course outline guidelines for adult schools, but educators from other contexts are welcome to attend.
