Dept. of Education Launches Open Innovation Portal
March 2, 2010When the Dept. of Education first discussed
the Investing in Innovation Fund, Jim Shelton, Assistant Deputy
Secretary for Innovation and Improvement, talked about developing
an online community where education community members could share
ideas. Now, the Open Innovation Portal is online and ready for contributors.
The main idea is for educators to share what's working, what's not,
and find partners in innovation.
"The Web Portal is designed to engage all stakeholders in
education: teachers, school administrators, parents, foundations,
nonprofit organizations, and the American public," said Secretary
Duncan. "I've traveled across the country on a Listening and
Learning Tour about education reform, and I have met countless Americans
who want be a part of improving our schools. President Obama has
set a goal that America, once again, will be the nation with the
highest percentage of college-education citizens. To achieve that
goal, we will need commitment--and the best and most innovative
ideas--from all of our citizens."
