We are proud of Ondrea Cook, PEER teacher at Horizon West, and Mollie Moen, PEER teacher at Robert Asp, who have completed their Catalyst demonstration project, the highest achievement within the Catalyst program. Moorhead teachers are trained in Catalyst practices to promote safe and equitable classroom learning environments. Throughout this demonstration process, both teachers invited several colleagues to observe their instruction helping to create a larger culture of learning within their buildings. Ondrea and Mollie are teacher leaders and serve as outstanding examples for colleagues. #SpudPride
