Are all Project Lead the Way students CTE students?
PLTW is a national program model to promote student interest in engineering. How the program is delivered differs from state to state. In New York State, PLTW falls under the regulations and policies for technology education. PLTW courses are generally taught by certified technology education teachers but not in all cases. This should be the deciding factor in determining whether PLTW students are CTE students. All pre-engineering programs approved under the 2001 Regents Policy on CTE must utilize New York State certified technology education teachers. For information on engineering-related courses or programs in grades 9-12 please see http://www.emsc.nysed.gov/cte/technology/engineer.html or call the CTE program office at 518-486-1547.
