It explains reformers' enthusiasm for test-based accountability; for "college and career-ready standards"; for teacher evaluations based, in significant part, on student outcomes; for "data-based instruction"; and for much of the rest of the modern-day reform agenda.

It is believed that this paper will be of particular interest to bridge engineers and structural engineering practitioners with enthusiasm for adopting non-destructive testing methods such as GPR in the health monitoring and assessment of bridge structures.
"I think there is a lot of enthusiasm for a quick test that can be carried out in the doctor's office and inform treatment". Leuchter's group did some of the early research underlying the device, and he heads Aspect's science advisory board.
Their enthusiasm was tested.
