Project Lead The Way
offers comprehensive, project-based curricula with specific intended
learning outcomes congruently aligned with national learning standards.
Project Lead The Way supports student organizations as a means to reinforce,
augment and enrich student learning generated from classroom experience. The
skills required of students to be successful in technology competitive
events are addressed in the PLTW instructional units.
These extracurricular events should be used by the classroom teacher to enhance classroom instruction when appropriate; however, they should never supplant the core instruction, knowledge and experience gained in the PLTW classroom
