PLTW says the support will be available through different platforms such as distance learning guides, training, and webinars.
The organization says all active PLTW schools will receive access to these resources at no additional cost during the 2020-21 school year.
“We continue to stand by our teachers and students as we all adapt day-by-day to the ever-evolving and ongoing COVID-19 crisis,” said Dr. Vince Bertram, PLTW president and chief executive officer.
PLTW is a nonprofit organization that helps prepare students for careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields.
Over the past several months, the organization has created additional resources for educators, including embedding course enhancements within existing coursework.
It has created more flexibility within structured lesson plans. PLTW says whether it’s face-to-face instruction or remote learning, the flexibility gives everyone to stay on track.
The nonprofit says it transformed its in-person professional development teacher training into an online learning experience.
“We have sharpened our focus to ensure we continue serving our network in meaningful ways with the tools and resources needed to provide transformative learning experiences for millions of students across America,” Bertram said.
