Wisconsin PLTW School Counselor Conference

Choose the date that fits your schedule!

October 8 or October 15, 2009

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 this biannual Counselors Conference. At the conference you will learn about PLTW and receive current literature for your interested students and parents.

The goals of the Counselor Conference are to:

• Increase awareness of the United States workforce needs in engineering and related fields.
• Increase knowledge of Project Lead the Way and its benefits to students.
• Make connections between Project Lead the Way and post-secondary success.

Keynote Speaker
Celeste Baine, director of the Engineering Education Service Center. The EESC is an engineering education company that specializes in providing products for K-12 schools to teach and share the fun of engineering.
