Cooperative learning. OBE. Goals 2000. Magnet schools. What on earth are they? Educators and government officials use these terms and many others every day. Each relates to an important aspect of the education of U.S. schoolchildren, yet parents and other concerned adults frequently do not know what they mean. The Language of Learning examines more than 200 terms used in K-12 education in the United States. The entries in this practical guide, from ability grouping to year-round schooling, include definitions, background information and, in many cases, additional references and resources. Education has a language of its own. This glossary can help everyone--classroom teachers, school administrators, parents, and anyone interested in education--to understand it. A good tool for parent involvement.
