Project Lead The Way (PLTW) comprehensive STEM (science,
technology, engineering, mathematics)
programs were endorsed by the Massachusetts
Governor's STEM Advisory Council. PLTW curricula are
collaboratively designed by K-12
teachers, university educators, engineering and
biomedical professionals, and school administrators to promote critical thinking, creativity, innovation and
real-world problem-solving skills in
students. The hands-on, project-based
programs engage students on multiple levels, expose them to areas
of study that they typically do not
pursue, and provide them with a
foundation and proven path to college and career success. PLTW currently provides three programs for grades
6 to 12; an elementary program for K-5
will be released in 2014. More than 5,200 schools in all 50 states and the District of Columbia
currently offer PLTW courses to their
students. For more information, attend a one-hour PLTW information session. Information
sessions will be held at the University
of Massachusetts Amherst, 138 Hasbrouck
on Tuesday April 30th at 4:00 and
at the Southeastern Regional Vocational Technical High School, 250 Foundry Street, South Easton
on Wednesday May 1st at 3:00. For more
information or to RSVP for an information session please contact Carolyn Malstrom at cmalstrom@pltw.org.
