PLTW Counselor's Conference
June 19-20, 2008

The PLTW Counselor’s Conference has been developed to provide School and Career Counselors and in those schools implementing Project Lead The Way (PLTW) and/or Gateway to Technology (GTT) information about the programs and their potential benefits to students.  We believe counselors play a key role in the course selection decisions made by students and their families and are a vital link to the success of a PLTW program,  These sessions have been designed to provide you with the information and support needed to carry out this important role.
