The Dayton Ohio Area Chamber just released the Winter 2014 edition of its quarterly magazine, Focus, and has devoted the issue to the topic of assessment and curriculum standards. The magazine’s cover story, “The Business Case for Common Core” features a compelling case for business support of the curriculum standards and includes a topical Q&A with Ohio State Senator Peggy Lehner and Ohio State Board of Education Vice-President Tom Gunlock.

The issue includes a feature article on internships, highlighting how local business leaders who participate in K-12 internship programs see a high return on investment, as well as a spotlight on recognizing diversity in the workplace.
