Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) has created advisory lists of high-quality curricular materials to help schools choose programs that meet state standards – and Project Lead The Way (PLTW) is on the list! After a rigorous review of our curriculum, PLTW has been selected for the IDOE’s K-5 Science, K-12 Computer Science, and 9-12 Engineering lists. Now every school can confidently implement hands-on learning that students love and meets state standards. 

Selection for the IDOE’s advisory list required rigorous review process, which included:
  • Independent review by a credible third-party research entity;
  • Independent review by each educator reviewer; and
  • Consensus by IDOE’s hosted review committee

 

Make a Bigger Impact on Student Success

Immersive learning experiences 

With a strong focus on discovery and real-world application, students explore computer science and science concepts in ways that engage their creativity and build confidence. 

"It seems that there is at least one moment in every class session when students surprise me with their ability to overcome the problems and extend the activity in creative ways.” 
Shellie Shoff, PLTW Launch Lead Teacher Valparaiso, IN

Engaging classroom materials 

Using a unique activity-, project-, problem-based (APB) approach, PLTW curriculum taps into students’ exploratory nature to help them learn computational thinking skills and connect their learning to life. 

"Everything I have done in these classes is what I will be doing in my job. It’s great to be able to get into the right mindset for my soon to be job site. It definitely keeps me excited about what I plan on doing." 
PLTW Student, 12th Grade Washington, IN

Exciting professional development  

Close the gap between teacher confidence and program efficacy with collaborative trainings, continuing education, and classroom resources that expand educators’ skills and impact. 

“My students have really enjoyed the Medical Detectives module and are always very engaged in the material. We are all learning so much!”
