Abstract	With a new and highly critical report card offering a business perspective on the effectiveness of state education systems, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is pushing what it sees as a prescription for more innovative, efficient, and better-performing schools. For the chamber, the grades and policy platform further a concerted new effort to shape education policy. While business organizations have long been part of the national discussion on improving public schools, the chamber's reach is particularly extensive, given its active local and state affiliates. That reach has proved effective in changing state policy in other areas, such as tort reform. In this article, the author discusses the policy platform on improving K-12 state education programs, which was released jointly by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Center for American Progress. Their recommendations are: (1) teacher quality; (2) innovative practices; (3) data use; and (4) school management. (ERIC).
