Kudos to the Department of Education for creating a 24-7, nationwide space for people to come together to identify the best ideas to improve our schools! As his first executive action, President Obama signed the Memorandum on Transparency and Open Government, calling for a more transparent, participatory, and collaborative government. In December, the White House issued an historic Open Government Directive directing agencies to take immediate, specific steps to engage Americans in the work of their government.

Welcome to the Innovation Web Portal! The Department of Education has developed this Portal as an online forum where key stakeholders in education can share their innovative ideas and collaborate to turn those ideas into a new reality. By connecting an idea from a teacher in Maine to a principal in Oklahoma, or a teacher-entrepreneur in North Dakota with a foundation in New York, the Portal will be a national marketplace of ideas of how we can ensure that every American child will graduate ready to succeed in college and the workplace.
