Project "Lead the Way"

Project Lead The Way is all about teaching and learning. The hands-on, project and problem-based PLTW approach adds rigor to traditional technical programs and relevance to traditional academics. 

PLTW's curriculum makes math and science relevant for students. By engaging in hands-on, real-world projects, students understand how the skills they are learning in the classroom can be applied in everyday life. This approach is called activities-based learning, project-based learning, and problem-based learning or APPB-learning.

As students progress through the sequence they will become proficient in:

• Working as a contributing member of a team
• Leading a team
• Using appropriate written and/or visual mediums to communicate with a wide variety of audiences
• Public speaking
• Listening to the needs and ideas of others
• Understanding the potential impact their ideas and products may have on society
• Thinking
• Problem solving
• Managing time, resources and projects
• Researching
• Going beyond the classroom for answers
• Data collection and analysis
• Preparing for two- and four-year college programs
