As there are conversations that are taking place between Early Childhood and TK-12 systems, it has been quite obvious that we may be speaking the same concepts with different languages. This document was created to capture the nuances of our educational fields in one spot and can be used to help translate or code switch to enhance our conversations. It is a tool for us to use to bridge our systems together.
There are so many nuances to education and we recognize this document is incomplete. If you have feedback, new terms that should be included, or additional information that should be added, provide feedback in the google doc below or you can follow the link here
