Abstract
Project Lead The Way (PLTW), which aims to create a seamless pathway from secondary education to college and career success in STEM fields, was first implemented in the state of Iowa in 2005. As a part of a statewide, longitudinal research in PLTW, this study explores the effectiveness of PLTW in college persistence by analyzing multiple data sources to examine multiple educational pathways of PLTW and non-PLTW students into higher education. Data sources included the state's K-12, community college Management Information System, and National Student Clearinghouse. More specifically, this study looks at patterns of students' educational mobility within two years after high school graduation.
