The Power of PLTW
20 Years, Millions of Students, Tens of Thousands of Teachers, and This Is Only the Beginning
Our programs provide a transformative learning experience for PreK-12 students and teachers across the U.S.
PLTW and Student Success
The compelling, hands-on PLTW classroom experience changes the way students experience school, from preschool through graduation day.
Research demonstrates that PLTW students outperform their peers in school, are better prepared for post-secondary studies, and are more likely to consider careers as scientists, technology experts, engineers, mathematicians, healthcare providers, and researchers compared to their non-PLTW peers. Students find PLTW programs relevant, inspiring, engaging, and foundational to their future success.
PLTW and Teacher Success
Our professional development prepares teachers to infuse a new way of teaching into the classroom and is also known to change the way educators teach non-PLTW classes, as well. Through our programs, we provide the community, support, and resources teachers need to devote more time to inspiring students. In fact, 92 percent of PLTW teachers say they are confident to return to their classrooms and teach their PLTW course after participating in our professional development program.
