QTEA Impact and Innovation Awards

For over a decade, the QTEA Innovation Awards has provided funding for SFUSD schools to bring new practices, ideas and solution that meet the most pressing educational challenges. The iLab has been the vehicle for facilitating this change by building human capacity and providing a toolkit of resources.

Click on the link below to learn more about how the 2023-24 Innovation Awards are supporting our district's  adopted goals, values and guardrails.

The QTEA Impact Awards are designed to support schools who have already developed a project for which they seek funding.

Schools submit ideas, budgets and project plans to demonstrate how they would use funding to support a project or effort at their site and can secure up to $25,000 for this concept. Prior winning projects have included sending teachers to Japan to learn Lesson Study to building leveled libraries within a school site.
