What is Project Lead The Way?
PLTW is a not-for-profit organization.
PLTW partners with public schools, higher education institutions and the private sector to grow the nation’s technology workforce.

Curricula - Rigorous and Relevant middle and high school engineering courses (with college credit options) that use problem-based learning. It’s free to participants, +…Professional Development – High-quality, rigorous, continuing, and course-specific teacher training,+…Counselor Conferences – Full-day training on the program and courses.
PLTW’s Three Keys to Success:

PLTW’s Curriculum:Aligns key learning concepts to national learning standards
Includes:• day-by-day lessons • support and enrichment activities• course vocabulary• instructional resources including numerous
PowerPoint presentations• evaluation and assessment tools aligned to
the key concepts

The Focus of PLTW isProblem-Based LearningStudents do authentic real-world work and may work in teams like real engineers.
Learning is contextual—not a disjointed series of concepts.
Expectations are clearly articulated.
Problems have unpredictable results.
Activities and projects have predictable outcomes.

What Students do Well in PLTW?The student who is:
Creative- Likes to design things.In the upper 80% of their classA hands-on learner.An underachiever who might get “hooked” by an interesting, project-based class.Interested in computers, science, or technology.Good in math and science.

Why Do We Need Scientists,
Technologists, & Engineers?

Why Do We Need PLTW?
There are currently 1.3 M engineering/engineering technology jobs available in the U.S. without trained people to fill them.
According to the Federal Government we will need 15 million engineers and technology workers by 2020.

What Can We Do?
Strengthening the core academic curricula, (e.g. English, math, science, social studies, etc.)
Adding a rigorous, technical, standards-based program of study in engineering and technology, leading to jobs, trade schools, 2-year, 4-year and post graduate degrees.
Make a small change in the culture of American high schools by:
