The purpose of the U.S. Department of Education's online newsletter "The Education Innovator" is to promote innovative practices in education; to offer features on promising programs and practices; to provide information on innovative research, schools, policies, and trends; and to keep readers informed of key Department priorities and activities. In this back-to-school issue, schools that are innovating to meet high expectations despite the challenging economic times--doing more with less--are featured. In this month's "Special Report," Secretary of Education Arne Duncan salutes those responsible for the "quiet revolution" that is rebuilding public education. Regular sections include: (1) What's New?; and (2) Innovations in the News. [For "The Education Innovator. Volume IX, No. 5," see ED510669.]
