SRA FLEX LITERACY ™ IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE 5
THE PROJECT EXPERIENCE
The Project Experience helps students build 21st
Century Skills through team-based, research-
centered writing projects that include research, presentation,
collaboration, reflection, and evaluation. During The Project
Experience, students work to complete projects related to
science, social studies, and life skills in order to promote
cross-curricular connections. The Project Experience is
mainly comprised of 23 fifteen-day projects that teachers
select in an order appropriate for their students. Each Project Experience year ends with
an independent twenty-day Capstone Project to highlight and assess student learning.
Tech Tutors and Pre-Project Lessons are provided to support needed skills.

and critical decisions. FLEXWorks is used daily by the teacher and provides
• automatic student performance data to monitor progress,
