Teachers Participate in San Diego Project Lead the Way Training

KPBS education reporter Kyla Calvert filed a story about approximately 20 high school teachers from states ranging from Alaska to Florida attending the Project Lead the Way (c) Summer Training Institute at San Diego State University in late July.  Among them were teachers from Quartz Hill and Palmdale High Schools locally, who will go back to their classrooms and facilitate the Introduction to Engineering Design courses.  Professor Bruce Westermo of SDSU cited the need for California to grow the STEM students and workforce, which PLTW is suited to do through project-based learning.  http://www.kpbs.org/news/2012/jul/23/summer-training-prepares-teachers-inspire-future-e/
