  4. President Obama’s Speechto Congress 2009 “And so 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.”

  8. Navigation 101 College & Career Ready • 9th graders in FMP • 10th graders in Orientation to Life & Careers • 11th graders in US History or AP US History • 12th graders in Government

  9. Course Selection Process This presentation is to jumpstart conversations between parents and students about course selection.  Please refer to the diploma choice you student has selected, following graduation requirements, and utilizing the course description guide to request courses for next school year.  (ABEAMS, Anthis, ICE, Internship, School Based Dual Credit, Off-Site Dual Credit, Advanced Placement opportunities) **All information will be found on CCHS guidance website: http://wccs.k12.in.us/cchs/guidance/index.html

  10. Course Selection Process • Course selection will occur in the following order: • Juniors: December/January • Sophomores:  January • Freshmen:  December/January (FMP) • How:We will be utilizing Harmony Online for this process.  Each counselor will be meeting with your student in small groups to select courses for the 2010-2011 school year.  If you want input with course selection please have conversation with your student prior to your student’s anticipated scheduling time.  You may verify courses selected by using Harmony Online and/or speaking with your student’s counselor. • If you are unable to attend this meeting information will be on the Guidance Homepage.

  13. Project Lead The Way (PLTW) prepares students to be the most innovative and productive leaders in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) and to make meaningful, pioneering contributions to our world. PLTW partners with middle schools and high schools to provide a rigorous, relevant STEM education. Through an engaging, hands-on curriculum, PLTW encourages the development of problem-solving skills, critical thinking, creative and innovative reasoning, and a love of learning. The PLTW middle and high school STEM education programs give students a brighter future by providing them with a foundation and proven path to college and career success in STEM-related fields. STEM education is at the heart of today’s high-tech, high-skill global economy. For America to remain economically competitive, our next generation of leaders must develop the critical-reasoning and problem-solving skills that will help make them the most productive in the world. PLTW sparks the ingenuity, creativity, and innovation within all of our students.

  14. Project Lead The Way (PLTW) is the largest nonprofit provider of innovative and rigorous STEM education programs. More than 500,000 students at nearly 3,500 schools have taken part in PLTW classes. PLTW hopes to reach more than 1,000,000 students each year by growing to 10,000 implementations by the 2015-16 school year. This growth is possible because PLTW programs are effective and engaging. From students in the classroom to parents and volunteers, school principals, and educators, PLTW has inspired thousands of people to take part in improving our schools and advancing their curricula. Nearly 13,000 teachers and 8,000 high school counselors have undergone advanced training with PLTW. Our network includes 500 Master Teachers who are the best and brightest STEM educators. We have cultivated partnerships with more than 100 institutions of higher learning to create additional opportunities for our students and teachers. By creating a thriving, robust network, we are able to provide the most cutting-edge, comprehensive STEM education programs, as well as cultivate a larger STEM community.

  15. The Project Lead The Way (PLTW) Pathway To Engineering (PTE) curriculum is designed as a four-year high school sequence that will fit into any student’s schedule and is taught in conjunction with traditional math and science courses. The program is divided into eight rigorous, relevant, reality-based courses: • Principles of Engineering • Students explore technology systems and engineering processes to find out how math, science, and technology help people. • Introduction to Engineering Design • Using 3D computer modeling software, students learn the design process and solve design problems for which they develop, analyze, and create product models. • Digital Electronics • Students use computer simulation to learn about the logic of electronics as they design, test, and actually construct circuits and devices. • Computer Integrated Manufacturing • Students learn concepts of robotics and automated manufacturing by creating three-dimensional designs with modeling software and producing models of their designs.

  16. Civil Engineering and Architecture • Teams of students collaborate on the development of community-based building projects and conceptual design for project presentations. • Engineering Design and Development • Teams of students, guided by community mentors, work together to research, design, and construct solutions to engineering problems. • Aerospace Engineering • Students learn about aerodynamics, astronautics, space-life sciences, and systems engineering through hands-on engineering problems and projects. • Biotechnical Engineering • Students apply biological and engineering concepts related to biomechanics, genetic engineering, and forensics.
