    Race to the Top, as ED has described it in the past, is designed to "help states with bold plans to improve student achievement." It will provide $4.35 billion to create incentives for states to create "innovative" programs that can be replicated throughout the country. And, in general, it will be aimed at funding programs that satisfy the principles outlined in the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund, which include creating and saving jobs; ensuring transparency, reporting, and accountability; and improving student achievement through school improvement and reform.

    This is a fabulous Stimulus Package Reporting idea - something that I've been thinking about too. It could work for every sector. Social media tools could play a huge role in organizing projects, monitoring progress and keeping everything transparent. I love all the concepts in this web site. Excellent work! Training would be needed however, because project leads are not necessarily the kind of people who normally use these tools.

  • The stakes are high, as this may be the most important opportunity school reformers get in the foreseeable future to make a difference. That said, the governance and accountability structures accompanying these funds will likely make or break their effectiveness. How then should the department distribute these funds? What criteria should be used? How should the department evaluate recipients and ensure that the process is fair and transparent? And, importantly, how can the administration support educational entrepreneurs without the perception of cronyism

    The Department of Education's $5 billion in "Race to the Top" and innovation funds provides a historic opportunity to reward states, school districts, and entrepreneurs doing good work for kids. Much of the funding, $4.35 billion, will go to states that can document successful implementation of NCLB's provisions-achieving equitable distribution of quality teachers, improving collection and use of data, implementing quality standards and assessments, and supporting struggling schools. The rest, $650 million, is reserved for school districts and nonprofits implementing proven reform strategies.
