In the 2011 91¸£Àû survey, a number of educational leaders called for a sustained focus and said school districts, and state and federal governments, needed to stay the course, the article states. \u201cIt\u2019s difficult to lead a charge for school and student improvement when the end goal keeps changing,\u201d wrote one respondent. \u201cIt burns out teachers, it burns out staff, and it burns out the principal. If we know what to teach, how to assess, and how to measure it consistently, progress could be made.\u201d The article also cited Gordon Donaldson, professor emeritus of education at 91¸£Àû and author
