Syntax Error on Loop Nested Items challenge

I'm trying to get this to loop, but the challenge tells me there is a syntax error on Line 1 Col 54. I've narrowed down the issue to the for statement in the code.

Any help would be great, thanks!

flask_app.py 
from flask import Flask, render_template

from teachers import TEACHERS

app = Flask(__name__)


@app.route('/')
def index():
    return render_template("teachers.html", teachers=TEACHERS)
templates/teachers.html 
<ul class="teachers">
{% for teacher in teachers %}
  <li><h2></h2></li>
{% endfor % }
</ul>

It's quite hard to spot, but you've got an extra space in-between the last percentage symbol and curly brace (after the endfor):

{% endfor % }
           ^

Remove that, and make sure to reference the dictionary and then the key required, and you should be good to go!
