Core training, a requirement to
teach PLTW courses in the
North Penn
High School Engineering Academy,
"...immerses teachers in a hands-on,
collaborative learning environment
that challenges them to look at
their classrooms in a new way.
Teachers take on the role of a
student, engage |
 |
|
in in-depth exploration of PLTW
coursework, and gain invaluable
experience to take back to their
classrooms." The content, skills
and curriculum learned will be
implemented in the fall when they
return to their classroom for the
beginning of the school year! |
At the high school,
Julia Young will be trained in
Introduction to
Engineering Design (IED), Mike
Voicheck will be trained in a brand new
Engineering Academy course,
AP Computer Science
Principles and Eric Specht, the
department's newest teacher, will be trained
in
Principles of
Engineering (POE).
From the middle
schools, Chad Gunzenhauser (Penndale), Nic
Lorenzo (Pennbrook), and Jeff Testa and
Scott Thompson (Pennfield) will be
implementing two brand new
PLTW gateway
courses:
Automation and
Robotics (AR) and
Design and Modeling
(DM) this fall in the Applying Technology
Major 9 course in all three middle school
programs.

PLTW
