Jeff awarded 2025 FFT Fellowship: Scotland and England Look Out!!!!

Fund for Teachers, one of the nation’s leading organizations supporting preK-12 educators, has announced its 2025 grant recipients – including Jeff Fehr – Humboldt Middle / High School. Fehr submitted a proposal to research across England and Scotland sites relevant to the Magna Carta to deepen the integration of experiential and project-based learning in social studies, with a focus on making historical concepts meaningful and relatable for students by linking the past to current issues around rights, governance, and justice.
After a rigorous review process, his proposal was selected and he was awarded funds to make it happen.

Fehr is one of 357 pk-12 teachers from across the United States awarded a total of $1.625 million to pursue self-designed learning expeditions across 79 countries in six continents this summer.

Fund for Teachers recognizes that teachers are the key learners in their classrooms. As such, FFT grants give educators the freedom to determine what and where they need to learn to ultimately enhance students’ academic and emotional growth.

“Teachers play the pivotal role in shaping students’ academic success and, in many cases, their social and emotional well-being in an increasingly unpredictable world,” said Karen Eckhoff, executive director. “Fund for Teachers believes that their unwavering commitment to America’s students deserves our full support, empowering educators to pursue the growth opportunities they deem most impactful for their students’ futures.”
