St. Louis, MO. – The Innovative Technology Education Fund (ITEF) awarded $144,886 to sixteen area schools, through self-selected professional development experiences. Forty-two grants were awarded to allow educators to participate at a local or national conference, tour schools in other states, bring a subject matter expert to their school, or design their own experience to increase their classroom impact.
