Becoming a certified Project Lead the Way, Inc., instructor is
a foundational component required prior to successful
implementation of a PLTW Program. PLTW offers both inperson
and online professional development training
opportunities and is the only one that can provide such
professional development training.
The Store in my PLTW allows authenticated users to
determine their PLTW program equipment and supplies
needs. All products available to purchase through Store in my
PLTW are competitively bid as part of our annual bidding
process. Awards are based on lowest total cost of ownership
pricing and other factors such as: specification to the PLTW
curricula, reliable shipping, and quality.
We are providing this letter to document the sole source
designation for certain products in the PLTW online Store
developed by Project Lead the Way, Inc. PLTW has reviewed
the items within the customary parameters justifying sole
source designations, including but not limited to
unavailability from another authorized source; compatibility
or interchangeability with the PLTW program/ curriculum,
designated software, or other equipment or goods; unique
features, functions or capabilities of the product that
distinguishes it with respect to program requirements and
functionality; and unavailability of other products due to
performance specifications or requirements. The
sole source designations have been based on a
determination that there is only one source that can provide
the item based on these factors as applied to the unique
program and curricular requirements necessary to the PLTW
program. Becoming a certified Project Lead the Way, Inc.,
("PLTW"), instructor is a foundational component required
prior to successful implementation of a PLTW Program. PLTW
offers both in-person and online professional development
training opportunities to educators seeking to become
eligible to teach a PLTW course. PLTW is providing this letter
to document the sole source designation for PLTW
Professional Development offered by Project Lead the Way,
Inc. The sole source designation has been based on
a determination that there is only one source that can
provide the professional development training based on the
unique program and curricular requirements necessary to the
PL TW program.
The school district is committed to provide STEM education
to students VPK -12. Project Lead the Way has provided the
curriculum for these programs to the schools for a long time.
These programs include Engineering Bio-Medical, Robotics,
and Energy.
The programs and curriculum that PLTW provides is aligned
with
the FLDOE standards and with the school districts strategic
plan to increase acceleration. The district has classrooms and
equipment already established that aligns with the
curriculum. Students are already immersed in the PLTW
curriculum and pathways, changing in the middle could cause
a disruption in instruction. If PLTW was no longer offered, the
district would need to create their own curriculum or decide
to create different pathways to provide STEM education. This
would be a massive undertaking for all the programs that we
offer. This effort would be extremely time consuming and
costly.
