The Dictionary of Educational Terms

This is a handbook of educational terms in current use. It aims to clarify the confusing terminology surrounding the National Curriculum and to explain aspects of educational life in a straightforward way. It deals with significant ideas, people, the legal framework, schools and their organization, assessment and the rights of parents. It is intended to help those who are bewildered by the acronyms which are in use in the world of education. All those with an interest in education - parents, governors, teachers and student teachers - should find this a useful first point of reference.
