💡 Big idea: A complete intervention plan connects outbreak evidence to a measurable action.

  1. 0-5 minWarm-up: what one number would you watch to know if your intervention worked?
  2. 5-25 minCombine line list, calculations, and intervention model into one document
  3. 25-45 minWrite recommendation statement backed by outbreak data; add citations
  4. 45-60 minDefine one post-rollout success metric with a target value
  5. 60-72 minFinal check: does every data claim have a citation?
  6. 72-80 minSubmit intervention plan and confirm in tracker
Mr. Mendoza's 5-minute intro
  • Today we finalize Problem 5 with a submission-ready intervention plan.
  • Your line list, incidence calculations, and intervention model come together into one document.
  • The plan needs one metric someone can monitor after rollout to know if it's working.
  • When you submit today, Problem 5 is complete.
Do this, step by step
  1. 1Combine your line list, calculations, and intervention model.
  2. 2State the recommended intervention and the data that supports it.
  3. 3Define one success metric to track after rollout.
  4. 4Add citations for your data and methods.
  5. 5Submit the plan and confirm it in your tracker.
You'll be able to
  • Your plan ties an intervention to outbreak evidence.
  • It includes a success metric and is submitted.
Know by the end
  • A success metric gives decision-makers a way to know if the intervention is working.
  • Citing data sources lets others verify or replicate your recommendation.
  • Combining line list, model, and plan into one document makes the evidence chain clear.
Do the work

Your PLTW work today

Open this PLTW section today

Outbreak line lists, incidence/prevalence, controls, intervention design. · Intervention plan

Day 4 of this lesson. Open this exact section in myPLTW (reached through Schoology), then do the work below.

Do this: Open Problem 5 in your myPLTW course shell and confirm Problem 5 activities are complete, then finalize and submit your public health intervention plan.

Complete

Submit your finalized intervention plan to the Problem 5 portfolio.

How far to get

All Problem 5 milestones (line list, intervention model) should be wrapped up by today.

Upload as evidence

Screenshot of your LMS submission confirmation as final evidence.

All PLTW activities are completed inside the PLTW course environment — this page only gives direction. Submit producibles on Schoology.

The plan

Today's PLTW tracker

Check things off as you work, then submit. This tells Mr. Mendoza how you're doing so he can help the class. It does not replace turning in your producible on Schoology.

Today's PLTW target

Outbreak line lists, incidence/prevalence, controls, intervention design. · Intervention plan

Open Problem 5 in your myPLTW course shell and confirm Problem 5 activities are complete, then finalize and submit your public health intervention plan.

All Problem 5 milestones (line list, intervention model) should be wrapped up by today.

This is how Mr. Mendoza sees the class keeping pace with PLTW. Be honest, it only helps if it is accurate.
