[xmca] Educational entrepreneurism tied to national policy



Education Secretary Arne Duncan's chief of staff Joanne Weiss, who has experience as an education entrepreneur, wrote the following in a blog<http://blogs.hbr.org/innovations-in-education/2011/03/the-innovation-mismatch-smart.html> for the Harvard Business Review:
"The development of common standards and shared assessments radically alters the market for innovation in curriculum development, professional development, and formative assessments. Previously, these markets operated on a state-by-state basis, and often on a district-by-district basis. But the adoption of common standards and shared assessments means that education entrepreneurs will enjoy national markets where the best products can be taken to scale."
