The lessons that I teach in my classroom are relevant to all students, not just engineering students. I've had over the past 14 to 15 years, I've had kids graduate from my classes and go on to become social studies teachers, English majors, lawyers, doctors ... and every single one of them come back and tell me that, 'The problem solving that I learned in this class helps me in everything that I do. '

- Chris Hurd, PLTW Engineering Master Teacher Cazenovia High School | Cazenovia, New York

PLTW, in partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS), has collaborated with SynchroNet, an AWS consulting partner, to virtualize software through Amazon's AppStream 2.0 service. Software used in PLTW courses will now be accessible through virtual computer labs on laptops that did not previously meet the technology requirements. Non-Windows operating systems will require additional hardware to use USB devices featured in PLTW courses.

This service reduces dependency on physical computer labs so that you can maximize your time and continue to focus on providing the in-demand, transferable skills students need to thrive in our rapidly evolving world.

AppStream 2.0 is a fully managed application and desktop streaming service where your IT team or AWS partner can centrally manage your desktop applications and securely deliver them to any computer.

With virtual computer labs through AppStream 2.0, schools will only pay for what their students and teachers use, and any optional implementation support.

PLTW Engineering Professional Development is a dynamic learning experience for teachers focused on robust and flexible instructional support, on-demand resources, and a close-knit community of collaboration with fellow educators.

PLTW Engineering teachers begin their professional development tracks by completing pre-requisite courses that introduce educators to PLTW and provide them with essential foundational knowledge.

Then, through PLTW Virtual Core Training, teachers are empowered to develop the skills and tools they need to inspire students. This training experience is focused on pedagogy and in-depth exploration of the PLTW Engineering coursework teachers will lead in their classrooms.

Following PLTW Virtual Core Training, PLTW teachers have access to ongoing learning opportunities that help them progress and flourish through online continuing education.

Our assessment experts collaborate with classroom teachers and apply industry best practices and methods to design, test, and implement assessments for our network of schools.

PLTW supports a balanced approach to assessment for all programs, integrating both formative and summative assessments that allow teachers to monitor student progress and modify instruction as needed. Through a balanced assessment approach, assessment is an ongoing activity. Students demonstrate their knowledge throughout the course by completing activities, projects, and problems using a variety of assessment tools - such as performance rubrics, reflective questioning, portfolio reviews, and End-of-Course (EoC) assessments - to deepen and expand their knowledge and skills.

Students learn by doing at EL Education's network of more than 160 schools. Math, science, and other subjects are taught through "expeditions" that connect them to their communities and teach them the value of service. Students are encouraged to have "academic courage," and they work alone and in groups to conduct original research, analyze data, and present their findings. The work goes in stages as students solicit feedback and make revisions along the way. Each step in the process reinforces a culture of continuous improvement and refinement.
