Arne Duncan to Address Education Innovation Thursday

U.S. Department of Education efforts to invest $650 million in innovative projects for public education are picking up steam this week. Duncan will make a long-awaited speech Thursday defining innovation and laying out the criteria the department will be looking for in granting the money.

Duncan's staff has reached out to Edutopia to encourage our community of innovators to follow the speech via live webcast. Tune in Thursday morning at 9 a.m. EDT.
