"Our Expo and the other innovative learning initiatives of the Broward Education Foundation are meant to support teachers' dedication and achievement with their students," Broward County Public Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie said.
The nearly 500 teachers in attendance received the tools needed to reimagine education and introduce their students to new and exciting ideas. The teachers presented projects concentrating in the areas of science, technology, engineering, arts and math. The Expo also provided an opportunity for teachers to discuss other subjects, such as reading and comprehension, the environment and nutrition.
"We have hosted this fantastic Teacher Expo for two decades. It is a platform for educators to share their innovative ideas with each other," said Christina Fischer, Broward Education Foundation chair of the board of directors. "Our Teacher Expo allows best practices to be deployed throughout BCPS classrooms, which creates a learning environment for our students that results in optimal educational outcomes."
