C LINTON CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT 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 one 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 of 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 other 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 open-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.
