School counselors play a key role in promoting Project Lead The Way by answering students' and parents' questions about the program, successfully enrolling students in appropriate PLTW courses, and counseling students as they consider pre-engineering or engineering technology as a career.
As part of the PLTW/School District Agreement, all counselors working with PLTW students need to attend a PLTW Counselors Conference. At the conference you will learn about PLTW, receive updates and current promotional materials for distribution to interested students and parents, and discover how to use the PLTW Web site to find answers to questions from parents, students, as well as from other counselors.
The goals of the Counselor Conference are to:
- Increase counselor awareness of the United States workforce needs in engineering and related fields.
- Increase counselor knowledge regarding Project Lead The Way and its benefits to students and the future technology workforce.
- Make the connection between the Project Lead The Way program and post-secondary success at the partnering universities.
Who Should Attend
The conference is primarily aimed at school counselors, however, administrators who are new to Project Lead The Way will find the information very helpful.
