2025 Catapult Grantee Update: Ferguson-Florissant School District Restoration and Wellness Center
ITEF visited Geometry students at Ferguson-Florissant’s Restoration & Wellness Center to see the results of a Catapult grant that provided an application and tablets for learning geometry, symmetry, and digital art skills. Teacher Yun-Kyong Byon said, "For many of my students, this is their first time using a tablet, so stepping into the digital world has been an eye-opening experience for them. This opportunity allows them to learn both mathematics and technology skills at the same time.” Photos to come soon!

It's , and we would like to highlight 2026 Lean Into Learning grantee Dr. Amanda Smith, an AP Psychology teacher in the Affton School District, who used ITEF's professional development grant to strengthen AP instruction and explore new strategies to develop students’ writing, critical thinking, analysis, and evidence-based reasoning skills. Through collaborative learning, educators identified ways to align expectations, support diverse learners, and make college-level coursework more accessible and achievable.
