Computer Science

PLTW has three programs; the computer science program should be described in parallel with the engineering and biomedical sciences programs. In 2013-2015, their computer science program provided the majority of implementations of College Board's new AP Computer Science Principles, according to presentations from Owen Astrachan, the principal investigator of the NSF grant for that AP course's development.

Scale

PLTW is notable precisely because of the scale of the non-profit. The program is implemented in over 6,500 U.S. schools in all 50 states. Change the Equation names the organization as one of the top four scalable education programs in the United States. The organization is highlighted in reports from the Presidential Council on Advancement of Science and Technology. The organization's CEO has spoken before the U.S. Congress on an invited panel. COI contributions provided information on scale which should probably be added back in. Sustain4people (talk) 12:33, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Research

Dozens of studies have been conducted on the organization, published in peer reviewed journals. There were COI contributions linking to a bibliography of the research that is comprehensive and includes research with positive, neutral, and negative findings. The link should be reinstated and a summary section added. https://www.pltw.org/sites/default/files/PLTW%20DR.TAI%20-%20brochure_pages.pdf Sustain4people (talk) 12:36, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
