Project Lead the Way
The upcoming school year also brings exciting curriculum changes to Naldrett! We will be implementing a
new K-5 curriculum called Project Lead the Way (PLTW). PLTW is the nation’s leading provider of STEM
(Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) programs. PLTW provides world-class curriculum
and high-quality teacher professional development models, combined with an engaged network of
educators, corporate and community partners which help students develop skills necessary to succeed in
our global economy. The PLTW program for kindergarten through fifth grade allows students to become
problem solvers. Students use structured approaches, like the engineering design process, and employ
critical thinking skills. They apply STEM knowledge, skills, and habits of mind, learning that it is OK to take
risks and make mistakes. As teachers and students learn and discover together, education becomes far
more engaging.
