Staff previews expansion of Project Lead The Way and CTE electives
Summary
Staff previewed Career Technical Education expansions across district sites, describing Project Lead The Way pathways (biomedical, engineering, computer science), middle-school PLTW at High Desert, and elective additions including robotics, culinary and digital media.
Tracy, a district presenter, previewed Career Technical Education (CTE) offerings and said Project Lead The Way (PLTW) provides hands-on STEM pathways: "What's really cool about Project Lead the Way is it's a STEM program. It's a hands on program." She said Vasquez offers multiple PLTW pathways (biomedical science, engineering) and computer science started last year and now both years are being offered.
Tracy also described a middle-school PLTW rollout at High Desert to create earlier exposure and a wheel of 5th-grade exploratory rotations including robotics and infection detection. She noted local staff are working on facilities issues (for example, venting for culinary ovens) and that Michelle and Alexa will be asked to present fuller slides at the next meeting.
