A quote worth noting; Joanne Weiss(Joanne Weiss is the Chief of Staff to U.S. Secretary of

Education Arne Duncan and previously led the Obama administration's Race to the Top program.) said, "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-bydistrict 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."
