Project Lead the Way modules are aligned to Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills Standards (TEKS) and an approved curriculum in the state of Texas. When planning which modules are taught school wide as a "Community Launch" or in a specific grade level, teachers review the Aligned Round Rock Curriculum (ARRC) units supplied by RRISD and the PLTW modules available when planning instruction. This ensures that we provide our Trailblazers with a unique and engaging experience that aligns with our instructional identity as a STEAM ACADEMY!
While PLTW aligns with Texas Essential Knowledge & Skills Standards (TEKS), Project Lead the Way is a national organization that aligns with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) as well. PLTW Modules taught with fidelity ensure that students are taught the full scope of these standards. You can visit the NGSS website to learn more!
