Following quickly on the heels of its $43 million grant to the Teacher Quality Partnership program, the U.S. Department of Education announced this week the launch of a $650-million innovation competition aimed at closing the achievement gap in the U.S. educational system.
The competition, called the Investing in Innovation fund (i3), falls under the $5 billion investment in school reform from the America’s Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
