“The education beat can be extraordinarily tricky, given all the jargon used by educators, researchers, and policy makers, and all the myriad complexities entailed in educating students and in trying to educate them more effectively,” said Stephen Abbott, editor of The Glossary of Education Reform for Journalists. “We set out to create a comprehensive, one-stop resource that would help working journalists—particularly those new or reassigned to the education beat—get rapidly up to speed on these complicated, nuanced issues so they can ask the right questions and produce informative stories in the public interest.”
The glossary features more than a hundred entries on K–12 public education and education reform in the United States, in addition to hundreds of related synonyms and abbreviations. Each entry includes a general definition of the term, a discussion about how the concept or strategy intersects with efforts to improve school performance and student achievement, and an overview of related debates, including the major arguments for or against a particular reform. The glossary does not include entries on private schooling, higher education, educational organizations, proprietary reform models, or specific educational policies, proposals, or legal decisions. A detailed overview of the resource can be found on the website: edglossary.org/about.
The Glossary of Education Reform for Journalists is a public, online resource that explicates and contextualizes major terms, strategies, concepts, and issues in public-education reform. The glossary is designed to give journalists and the public an accessible, easily navigated, go-to reference for accurate, factual, and objective information on major education-reform issues in the United States. It is also a work in progress that we will be expanding, improving, and refining it over time.
