The PLTW curriculum was developed as a program focused onpromoting STEM integration and therefore, the way the curriculum is enacted in the classroomwould seem a critical issue. For the types of benefits observed in previous research to be accessiblefor all students enrolled in PLTW courses, it is important newly trained PLTW teachers understandand can effectively implement all PLTW curriculum components. The PLTW curriculum isconstantly reviewed by educators and industrial

The third open-ended question, “How might the Teaching Institutehave been improved?” resulted in two primary themes. The most frequent suggestion forimprovement was to include more example modules. The second most frequent suggestion forimprovement was to provide more time for discussion of modules that participants design alongwith more one-on-one sessions for faculty to explore new teaching strategies.

Narrative analysis is the process by which researchers organize dataelements (i.e., discrete stories) into a coherent developmental account [34]. In effect, narrativeanalysis is a synthesis of data rather than its separation into constituent parts (i.e., coding). I usednarrative analysis to create representative, experiential narratives in collaboration with eachparticipant. Later, I analyzed the data across the narratives, looking for outcomes related to theresearch questions, to provide transferable conclusions and recommendations for practice. Tofurther
