Spring-Ford's Unique 'Project Lead the Way' Receives National Certification
The certification means that Spring-Ford's program has distinguished itself from other schools nationwide with the same program.
ROYERSFORD, PA – The Spring-Ford Area School District announced Tuesday that its local Project Lead the Way (PLTW) program has received national certification.
PTLW is a nonprofit organization that works with schools around the country. They aim to put students into the role of an engineer and encourage them to "adopt a problem-solving mindset, and make the leap from dreamers to doers," according to Spring-Ford.
The program has been underway since 2013. The program is designed to help students both broaden their curriculum and improve the professional development training which they receive, Spring-Ford said.
