The Florida Literacy Coalition would like to thank Orlando Tech, United Methodist Cooperative
Ministries, and GROWS Literacy Council for their outstanding efforts in field-testing the materials. These programs were encouraged to become involved in Project-Based Learning by producing a final student project that could be shared with other students and members of the community. Below are some samples of student-led projects that were produced during the pilot program. Our thanks go to the teachers and students for their great work.
