Gain Confidence with PLTW's Professional Development for Teachers
PLTW is not “curriculum in a box” or “watch this video and then teach it.” Our signature Core Training is intensely collaborative professional development, taught by PLTW-certified Master Teachers who are also current classroom practitioners and leaders.
“The networking and building of meaningful relationships during PLTW Core Training was only the beginning, and I feel that it will continue to grow for years to come. I am honored that I get to be a part of such a great teaching community that inspires our children for the future.”




Why hands-on, real-world learning?

“It's almost impossible to put it into words how much Project Lead The Way has contributed to who I am and who I want to be. It's immediately, from day one, 100 percent different from anything you expect to experience. We had a multitude of opportunities to experience and to see and to take in what BioMed really is as a whole.”
“The teacher is always the key, and Project Lead The Way has such a phenomenal training program for teachers.”
“As a teacher, I have been totally reinvigorated by this curriculum. One of the best things for me is seeing just how much kids can do when you challenge them to do it. I have no doubt that the kids who go through this program are better off when they get to college and when they get to jobs because they know how to do things for themselves.”
