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.

The Web Portal is designed to engage all stakeholders in education: teachers, school administrators, parents, foundations, nonprofit organizations, and the American public. 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.

To achieve that goal, we will need commitment – and the best and most innovative ideas – from all of our citizens.
