The
PLTW Human Body Systems curriculum will be used in the Anatomy and Physiology
class taught by Mrs. Henry next year. Human Body Systems is a PLTW Biomedical
Science course that introduces students to medicine and human body
systems, preparing them for careers in medical and health-related fields. Whether
discovering new cancer treatments or teaching healthy lifestyle choices to
their communities, today’s biomedical science professionals are tackling big
challenges to make the world a better place. In PLTW Biomedical Science,
students are taking on these same challenges – and they’re doing it before they
even graduate from high school. Working with the same tools used by
professionals in hospitals and labs, PLTW Biomedical Science students step into
the roles of medical investigators, surgeons, microbiologists, geneticists, and
biomedical engineers. The program’s collaborative, hands-on explorations
inspire students to dream big and motivate them to make a real impact on those
around them, while preparing them with the know-how and experience to make
their life-changing ideas a reality.
The
PLTW Principles of Engineering curriculum will be used in the Physics class
taught by Mr. Buller next year. Principles of Engineering empowers students to
step into the role of an engineer, adopt a problem-solving mindset, and make
the leap from dreamers to doers. The program engages students in collaborative,
real-life activities like working with a client to design a home, using a
flight simulator to learn basic pilot skills, or exploring algae as a biofuel
source. As students work together to imagine and design solutions to local and
global challenges, they test their limits and question what’s possible. And by
pushing themselves to rework and refine their projects, PLTW Engineering
students learn that both failure and perseverance are key to learning and
innovation.
PLTW
has a long history of successfully engaging students in STEM subjects and
Bancroft-Rosalie Schoo is proud to offer
PLTW to our students, giving them an advantage over their peers when it comes
to high school, college, and career readiness. We believe our community will
also see the benefits of PLTW as the supply of highly skilled workers increases
for local businesses.
As
a PLTW school, Bancroft-Rosalie is part of a community of K-12 schools,
colleges and universities, and corporate and philanthropic partners across the
country united around a passion for providing students with inspiring, engaging,
and empowering learning opportunities. PLTW students are afforded a variety of
opportunities including scholarships, preferred admission at colleges and
universities, internships, industry connections, and avenues to highlight
achievements.
