Project Lead The Way Proposal March 8, 2016

Presented by:

• Dr. Stephen Grimm - Superintendent
• Dr. Matthew Lee - High School Principal

The Value of an Education

In a speech to the joint session of congress on February 24, 2009, President Barack Obama stated (Obama, 2009), Tonight, I ask every American to commit to at least

• ne year or more of higher education or career
• training. This can be a community college or a four-

year school; vocational training or an apprenticeship. But whatever the training may be, every American will need to get more than a high school diploma. And dropping out of high school is no longer an option. It’s not just quitting on yourself, it’s quitting on your country; and this country needs and values the talents

• f every American.

The Importance of Manufacturing and Engineering in the U.S.

• In 2010, the manufacturing industry generated $1.7

trillion in GDP and accounted for 86% of goods shipped overseas in 2009 (NSTC, 2012).

• Every dollar spent in manufacturing adds $1.37 to

the U.S. economy and every 100 jobs in manufacturing creates an additional 250 jobs in

• ther sectors (Giffi et al., 2015).

Job Forecast

• 55 million new jobs will be created between 2010

and 2020. 65% will require some form of education beyond high school (Carnevale, Smith, and Strohl, 2013)

• 3.5 million of these jobs will be in manufacturing
• More than 2 million jobs by 2020 will go unfilled

due to a skills gap between what organizations desire and the skills students possess

• The U.S. created and lost the ability to fully

manufacture laptop computers, solar cells, semiconductors, flat panel displays, robotics, and lithium-ion batteries due to unskilled labor (Pisano & Shih, 2009).

What We Must Change

• Students need to be able to:
• Create 3-D models using appropriate software
• Operate Computer numeric control (CNC)

machines

• Read mechanical blueprints
• Program robots (Small, 2006)
• In research conducted in New York public high

schools the size of Clinton, the academic program that had the strongest correlations to meeting these skills was through the PLTW program

CCS Proposal

Implement Project Lead the Way (PLTW) and Gateway to Technology (GTT) in the High School and Middle School To Complete This Venture, We Will Need To:

• Increase staffing in the Technology Education department

by 0.4 FTE

• Build a computer lab in the middle school to meet the

demands of the GTT program for 7th and 8th graders

• Grow the program each year to provide students with a 4-

year sequence in technology education

PLTW Has A History of Excellence

• 1997 - PLTW launches it its engineering curriculum in 12

high schools in upstate New York

• 1998 - RIT holds the first PLTW training for teachers
• 1999 - PLTW partners with Autodesk, an industry leader

in 3D design

• 2000 - PLTW launches its college level recognition

program and the Gateway program for middle school students

• 2004 - U.S. Department of Education recognizes PLTW

as an exemplary program

PLTW Has A History of Excellence

• 2010 - PLTW partners with Vex Robotics
• 2012 - PLTW is in 4,782 schools
• 2013 - PLTW launches its elementary program, creating a

K-12 STEM study program

• 2014 - PLTW commits to train 27,602 teachers by 2018 to

teach STEM curriuclum

• 2015 - PLTW partners with the College Board to expand

college and career readiness options

PLTW Mission and Values

Create dynamic partnerships with our nation’s schools to prepare an increasing and more diverse group of students to be successful in science, engineering, and engineering technology programs.

• The curriculum based program provides rigorous and

relevant curriculum with end-of-course norm referenced exams

• And rigorous and relevant professional development

for teachers and counselors

The Blending of Activities, Projects, and Problems Authentic Learning

• Activities are written and designed to provide students the

experience needed to acquire the skills they will use throughout a course (Formative assessments to map a student's obtained knowledge of the curriculum).

• Projects are written and designed to aid students in

developing and beginning to apply critical thinking skills and knowledge (Hands-on application).

• Problems are written and designed to utilize skills and

knowledge acquired through activities and projects in an

• pen-ended format that aids students in developing a full

understanding of the main concepts and principles of the course (Think real examples that require creative solutions tying together everything a studebt has learned).

The Benefits of Activity, Project, and Problem Based Learning

• Helps students develop skills for living in a

knowledge-based, technological society

• Adds relevance to students’ learning
• Challenges students to high rigor
• Promotes lifelong learning
• Meets students’ needs with varying learning

styles

Design Process

Activities give the students what they need to traverse the “phases” in a design process. Projects and Problems utilize the design process itself.

Example of a design process

Three Phases of Professional Development

• Pre-Summer Training Institute
• Teachers complete on-line work before they arrive for

the training for the specific courses he/she will be teaching

• Teachers attend RIT for training over the summer
• GTT training is 1-week in length for each course
• PLTW training is 2-weeks in length for each

course

• Teachers receive continuous training through virtual

communities and networking with teachers throughout the U.S.

Advantages of PLTW & GTT

• Updates curriculum and provides opportunity
• Flexible curriculum
• Meets current needs of our students
• Prepares students for future
• Emphasizes higher level thinking and problem

solving skills (Thinkworks Initiative Alignment)

• Teacher training and professional development
• Engages professional technology community
• Increases technology teacher retention
• Fosters student success

Disadvantages of PLTW & GTT

• Requires full multi-year commitment
• Costs more than our traditional program
• An increased demand for high school courses will

most likely require more staff in the future at high school level

Needs

• Computer lab in the middle school
• Will be used to accommodate all students in middle

school and high school GTT and PLTW courses

• One-time purchases of tools, machines, and equipment
• 3-Dimensional printer and CNC Machine
• Vex Robotics and Tablets

Note: Clinton Foundation has approved nearly $50,000 to fund start up expenses over the next two school years.

• BOE multi-year support of GTT and PLTW programs and

resolution to partner with PLTW at an upcoming meeting

Background/Purpose

35

• New York State Education Department (Part 200)

requires that every district create and have available for review a Special Education Plan.

• The plan has to include the following:
• Continuum of services
• Outside District Placements
• Enrollment Review
• Census
• Special Education Staff
• Space Plan
• Committee on Special Education
• Preschool Special Education
• Committee on Preschool Special Education

Continuum of Services

Out of District Placements

• 20 school age students attend the various Out of District

programs as their needs require more restriction than we can provide in district.

• 1 student attends a Behavioral Program at Sauquoit

Valley Central School District.

• Currently we have 14 students in OHM BOCES Special

Education Programs and 1 student in a MO BOCES Special Education Program.

• 5 students attend Special Education Programs at either

The House of the Good Shepherd or Upstate Cerebral Palsy.

District Options for Special Education

• Currently we offer various levels of

support/instruction throughout the District

Most Restrictive----->Least Restricitve

• Full day Special Education classroom with aide

support for specials, lunch and recess (Elementary

• nly)
• Partial placement in Special Education Class for

academic and behavioral instruction/support (Elementary only)

• Special Education services in Resource Room
• Direct Consultant
• Indirect Consultant
• Related Services

Staffing

❖ We have 10 certified Special Education teachers

throughout the district. ❖ The Special Education Teachers provide: ➢ Academic, behavior and social/emotional support for the 111 in district classified students. ➢ Act as the Case Manager for the 48 students with 504 plans. ➢ Collect data needed for the monitoring of student IEPs ➢ Supervise Teaching Assistants and Aides assigned to students on their caseloads per IEPs.

❖ Parents can make referrals at no cost to them or the

• District. (County funded)

❖ Preschoolers with a Disability have access to the continuum

• f services through contracting agencies and providers.

❖ Oneida BOCES Preschool Coordinator coordinates all steps ( initial evaluations, reevaluations, CPSE meetings, providers, IEP development). ❖ Currently we have 9 identified preschoolers. ❖ 3 identified preschoolers are eligible for Kindergarten in 2015-2016.

Preschool Special Education Services

Related Services

❖ Related Services are through the review of evaluations and progress toward IEP goals. ❖ Related Services include Speech, OT,PT, Teacher of the Blind and V.I., Counseling, Audiology, and 1:1 Assistance. ❖ We bill Medicaid for Speech, OT and PT. Medicaid eligibility is based on free and reduced lunch with parent permission.

Challenges

❖ Creating programs and services within our district with

limited or no costs to the district. ❖ Ensuring that classified students are getting their individual academic needs met while still having access to the Common Core Standards. ❖ Providing access to general education courses while still meeting students’ IEPs. ❖ Transition Planning for life after high school.

❖ Response to Intervention is providing supports to students before evaluations and classification is needed. ❖ As is recommended, our percentage of students with special needs/IEPs is under 10% of the total student enrollment. ❖ For 2014-2015, we had 14 students graduate. Two students received the NYSAA and 12 with either a Local or a Regents Diploma. ❖ Our entire faculty and staff are dedicated and committed to meeting students’ need in the least restrictive setting possible.
