Over 450 Broward County Public Schools teachers recently gathered at Broward Education Foundation’s 22nd annual Innovative Teacher Idea Expo, according to a news release. The event was put on by the Broward Teachers Union to share ideas and discuss methods that engage and motivate students.

The teachers experienced more than 50 projects from local teachers that were funded by Broward Education Foundation grants. Educators viewed project displays illustrating teaching strategies, participated in continuing education and received inspiration from exciting presentations.

The projects focused on STEM, social emotional learning, reading and comprehension, the environment, nutrition and other subjects and featured teachers from schools in Coral Springs, Davie, Hollywood, Tamarac, Miramar, Pompano Beach and more.

“Broward Education Foundation, celebrating its 35th anniversary this year, is proud to foster innovative teaching in Broward County Public Schools,” said Frank Horkey, chairman of the foundation’s board of directors.

“Teacher grants are a cornerstone of our organization and an invaluable asset for educators seeking to engage and propel students to higher levels of achievement.”
