This annotated bibliography lists some of the resources and materials that the 12 national business organizations constituting the Business Coalition for Education Reform (BCER) have available to assist those interested in strengthening U.S. schools through the following activities: raising academic standards for all students; ensuring that academic standards reflect the skills needed for sustaining a growing economy; and helping the public understand the critical need for world-class academic standards and the changes needed for school systems to deliver them.
