2. PLTW: 21st Century Model for Education  Students can see the relevance of what they are learning— academics made real.  Students are prepared for both college and career— in whatever order they choose, in whatever combination.  Students gain the knowledge and skills in order to compete in the 21 st Century global economy—both academic and technical.

3. Approximately 5,000 programs over 400,000 students more than 10,500 teachers trained 100s of partners

4. Increased Engagement in School More Interested in Math and Science Closed the Achievement Gap Increased College Enrollment, Persistence and Performance Program Benefits

5. Students Learn to: Communicate effectively, both orally and in writing think critically practice professional conduct work effectively in teams design experiments understand the interdisciplinary nature of science, healthcare, mathematics and English language arts.

6. BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES PROGRAM The PLTW Biomedical Sciences Curriculum Engages and Prepares Students for Careers in Medicine, Healthcare and Science.

7. Experience a PLTW Classroom Where students learn content in context through: Case-based scenarios Hands-on learning Activities, project and problems Real world application Open-ended problems

8. Teacher as facilitator -- Student as director of learning …and the classroom becomes a collaboration space. PLTW Classrooms: Launch critical thinking Challenge students to make mistakes Integrate technology into the classroom Encourage teachers and students to learn together.
