  5. Life science academy • Academies • Engineering • Theatre Arts • Construction/Trades/Energy • Business/Entrepreneurship • The Life Science Academy • The mission of the Life Science Academy is to improve Health Care in our region • The goal is to improve the pathways for students to pursue careers in the health care field through world-class real-world, hands-on research and investigation • Project Lead the Way Biomedical program Life Science Academy Funded by OMHS and OCTC

  6. Project Lead the Way (PLTW) • The nation’s leading provider of rigorous and innovative STEM education • MISSION • to ensure that America succeeds in the increasingly high-tech and high-skill global economy by partnering with middle schools and high schools to prepare students to become the most innovative and productive in the world • Comprehensive, collaboratively developed curriculum • PLTW Teachers • University Educators • Engineering and Biomedical Professionals • School Administrators Life Science Academy Funded by OMHS and OCTC

  7. Project Lead the Way (PLTW) • Curriculum focuses on • Critical thinking • Creativity • Innovation • Real-world problem solving • The Program • Hands-on • Problem-based • Engages students on multiple levels • Exposes them to areas of study that they typically do not pursue • Provides them with a foundation and proven path to college and career success in STEM related fields • Utilizes AP2 Life Science Academy Funded by OMHS and OCTC

  8. AP2: activities, projects, and problem-based learning • Activities • Build skills and knowledge • Projects • Hone skills in teamwork, mathematics, science, software, time management, and communication • Problems • Students doing authentic real-world work • Learning is contextual, not disjointed series of concepts • Students work in teams • Expectations are clearly articulated to students • Problems have unpredictable results Life Science Academy Funded by OMHS and OCTC

  9. PLTW Biomedical Science Program • Physician • Nurse • Dentist • Veterinarian • Pharmacist • Paramedic • Dietician • Surgeon • Research Scientist • Health Information Manager • Medical Technologist • Radiologist • Medical Technical Writer • Physicians’ Assistant • Biomedical Engineer • Addresses impending critical shortage of qualified science and health professionals • Prepare students for rigorous post-secondary education at two and four-year colleges or universities Life Science Academy Funded by OMHS and OCTC

  10. Addressing the need • Proportion over 65 is projected to increase from 12.4% in 2000 to 19.6% in 2030- 35 million to 71 million (U.S. Census Bureau 2011) • Lack of adequate numbers of health professionals represent major root causes of problems facing health care in Kentucky (Kentucky Institute of Medicine 2007) Life Science Academy Funded by OMHS and OCTC

  11. The healthcare industry • One of the largest industries • 14.3 million jobs for wage and salary workers in 2008 • Bureau of Labor Statistics (2010) • Ten of the 20 fastest growing occupations are healthcare related. • Healthcare will generate 3.2 millionnew wage and salary jobs between 2008 and 2018 • More than any other industry • Largely in response to rapid growth in the elderly population Life Science Academy Funded by OMHS and OCTC

  12. PLTW Biomedical Science Program BMS Funding States. Schools implemented program in 2007 States with schools implementing program since 2007 Life Science Academy Funded by OMHS and OCTC

  13. PLTW Gets results! • Exceed average academic growth rate in science and math • Intention to pursue higher education: 92% vs. 67% • Achieve higher ACT scores and • Achieve higher ACT math and science scores • 5 to 10 times more likely to study a STEM field in college • Sustain higher GPAs while attending college: 3.03 vs. 2.85 • Visit- pltw.org/about-us/impact Life Science Academy Funded by OMHS and OCTC
