Glossary
Education is filled with acronyms, so that is the main focus of the glossary below. This is a developing page, so if there are any terms or acronyms you come across that don’t make sense, feel free to let me know and I’ll add it to this page!
A note on terminology: I strive to use the most widely-adopted, inclusive language when speaking about individuals’ identities and language. However, especially in education, there is hardly ever a clear consensus when it comes to terminology. Some say certain terms, such as “foreign”, are only negative when there is negative intent behind their use. Others would argue that this fails to recognize the hurtful and offensive ways it has been (and continues to be) used. If there is a certain nuance that I fail to include, please let me know via the contact tab.
Aaron Bird Bear, Heather Linville, and Nikki Logan all share great information related to terminology in their interviews!
