PLTW – Gateway to Technology • PLTW is a national nonprofit organization that partners with middle schools and high schools. • It emphasizes hands-on experiences in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) to prepare students for academic and professional success in these disciplines. • PLTW aims to encourage an increasingly more diverse group of students to consider careers as scientists, technology experts, engineers, mathematicians, healthcare providers, and researchers.

  6. PLTW – Gateway to Technology • Began in 1998 in 12 high schools in upstate New York as a program designed to address the shortage of engineering students at the college level. • It has grown to a network of more than 3,300 middle and high schools in 50 states and the District of Colombia. • In 2007, PLTW added a Biomedical Sciences program, also project-based, to address an impeding shortage of healthcare professionals and researchers.

See School Discipline Plan (also in the Minder Binder). • Behave respectfully and responsibly at all times! • No student may interfere with others’ rights to learn or to teach. • Be prepared to learn! • Students are expected to be on time, present (pay attention), raise their hand to speak, remain quiet when others are speaking, and follow all directions/instructions given in class. Bring a pencil, eraser, pen, and Minder Binder to class everyday. • Strive to do your best! • Attitude over ability - we choose our attitude and a positive attitude can at times make up for our ability.
