Core Training – Participant Expectations
What is Core Training?
Project Lead The Way
® Core Training is an integral part of a 3-phase professional
development program that is offered during the summer on university campuses around the
country. It is a foundational component of teacher preparation that is necessary to ensure an
instructor’s readiness to deliver Project Lead The Way
® curricula to students. The Core
Training provides a collaborative setting where teachers are immersed in content-specific,
project-based instruction.
What is the pace?
It is an intensive two-week instructional program that covers a year’s worth of curriculum in
10-days. Due to the concentrated nature of the delivery of curriculum and materials, it is
recommended that participants follow the guidelines below to avoid falling behind in the
coursework.
Accelerated programs, like those offered at the Core Training, have a greater potential for
participants to feel overwhelmed if they begin to fall behind in the coursework. Therefore, it is
recommended that participants stay on campus for the duration of the Core Training. The
university setting provides a collaborative environment and promotes peer-to-peer
interaction. It also enables participants to devote their full attention to the mastery of
coursework and to work collaboratively on project assignments. Most participants find living
on campus to be an enriching experience and take advantage of the collegial atmosphere
and opportunity for professional growth.
What is the time commitment?
Core Training classes run 5 days a week for 2 weeks for approximately 8 hours per day.
There are “homework” components to the Core Training courses. The time it takes to
complete assignments will vary for all participants, depending on an individual’s knowledge
of the topic and previous experience with the material. Staying on campus allows teachers to
work together during the evening and to have access to additional help that is provided by
the instructors. Each day the instructors will move forward with the curriculum, so it is
essential that problems with the material are addressed and resolved as they occur. Due to
the short duration of the Core Training, the only time for additional assistance will be in the
evenings.
Am I ready to teach?
Participants who successfully complete the Core Training will receive a Certificate of
Completion for the course at the conclusion of the training. Issuance of a certificate is
contingent upon the participant’s demonstration of core competencies and understanding of
course concepts, successful completion of all required course materials as well as his or her
record of daily attendance. The final decision to grant or withhold a certificate is at the
discretion of the Core Training instructors and the Affiliate Director.
The Core Training provides a comprehensive overview of the course content, and is not
inclusive of the full scope and breadth of the course. Due to the time constraints inherent in a
2-week professional development session, the Core Training provides only an introduction to
select lessons, activities and projects within the course. In preparation to teach the course, it
is the responsibility of the participant to continue to familiarize him or herself with the entire
course curriculum upon completing the Core Training.
Core Training @ SU.2018; Page 5
What is expected of me?
To ensure a successful Core Training experience, all participants are encouraged to review
the following list of expectations.
Participant Expectations:
All participants at Core Training are expected to:
1. arrive on opening day, usually a Sunday, with a laptop that MEETS OR EXCEEDS PLTW
®
computer specifications (must have administrator rights and up to date virus software),
as outlined in the Participant Information Packet, to load appropriate software and to
establish network access;
2. attend all scheduled sessions, orientation starts at 4:00 p.m. on Sunday;
3. arrive on time at all daily class sessions (attendance will be taken twice daily);
4. actively participate in classroom instruction;
5. complete all required assignments and to assemble a portfolio;
6. attend evening sessions, if necessary (enrichment activities are optional unless your

7. turn all cell phones off during class instruction, unless absolutely necessary and then
please set to vibrate. Only critical calls should be answered, and then outside of the
classroom;
8. treat all participants and instructors professionally and with respect;
9. continue to review and become familiar with all curriculum material and work toward skill
mastery after leaving the Core Training.

2018 Biomedical Sciences CT Computer Requirements
Recommended 2018 Biomedical Sciences CT Computer Requirements
Project Lead The Way, working with its vendors, will recommend computer requirements
each year that we estimate will run our course software for the next three years. Many
schools have developed policies under which new, more powerful computers are placed
in PLTW labs, and the existing computers are moved to areas with less demanding
applications. In doing this, they ensure the longest useful performance of their
computers.
Each teacher participating in training and teaching Project Lead The Way
®
courses is
required to have a laptop computer for his/her use. Teachers MUST have
Administrator rights on their computer, and download any necessary software
from the PLTW Learning Management System (LMS) prior to training.
