This summer MSOE will offer Core Training for the Pathway to Engineering and Biomedical Sciences programs for teachers to become trained Project Lead The Way teachers. It is a requirement of the PLTW network agreement signed by a school or school district, that only a trained PLTW teacher may teach this curriculum. Core Training provides teachers with the knowledge to utilize the PLTW technology, software and associated curriculum. Classes are taught by Master Teachers and Affiliate Professors who bring hands-on teaching experience to the classroom. PLTW pays significant attention to assessing the teachers’ readiness for the intensive two-week training.
The 2012 Core Training Institute will be offered at MSOE during the following two week sessions:
- June 17-29, 2012 (view course list)
- July 22-Aug. 3, 2012 (view course list)
