RLA, RTI, AYP, ELL, ESL, IEP, IDEA, UALPA, NAEP, NCLB, USED, SBE, DIBELS...
A constant stream of speaking and interacting with abbreviations. Each one holding significant meaning to my work and the lives of my students.
As I immerse myself further into the world of education, I begin to peal back the layers of what these acronyms stand for and more importantly, what purpose they hold within the realm of education.
When the clutter and sometimes confusion of it all is set aside, I am left with the foundation of what these acronyms ultimately attempt to accomplish (or what I dream of them accomplishing): Motivation, Mastery, Purpose, and Autonomy for each student.
