Summary:
|
Project Lead the Way (PLTW) is currently being implemented at the secondary level supporting Next Generation Science Standard (NGSS) and science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Project Lead the Way is the nation's leading provider of STEM programs. Through world-class K-12 curriculum, high-quality teacher professional development, and outstanding partnerships, PLTW is helping students develop the skills needed to succeed in the global economy. The Quest Foundation funds would support implementation of PLTW Launch (the elementary modules) at Bel Air and Shore Acres Elementary. PLTW Launch will also be implemented at Delta View Elementary and piloted in the CARES After School Program in Bay Point supported by other grant funds. Both schools have been notified their eligibility to receive funding for 2015-2016 and request approval to receive: Bel Air Elementary School $7,500; and Shore Acres Elementary School $7,500. Funds will be used for PLTW Launch modules, instructional materials, teacher training and technology. Each school will be presented with a PLTW Grant Agreement form, indicating all requirements for receipt of funds (sample attached).
