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. This issue includes a feature article on the Teaching Ambassador Fellowship, a program which is making a valuable contribution to the U.S. Department of Education by helping to connect federal education policy to the classroom and by developing a cadre of teachers whose interest in policy can help to improve K-12 education. This month's feature presents a number of the Teaching Ambassador Fellows and describes their accomplishments in both the Nation's Capital and across the country. Regular sections include: (1) What's New?; and (2) Innovations in the News. [For "The Education Innovator. Volume IX, No. 3," see ED509496.]
