Secret Code

The side picture is blurred as truly representative of the moment.

Ahh, those start-to-the-school-year-mass-teacher-pick-me-up-and-give-an-acronym-to-tie-my-ship-to kind of meeting days.

Over the past 22 years I have collected the following acronyms exclusively to make the classroom a better place for students:

ASCD AVID BYOD
IEP LEP NBCT
NSTA PISA SBG
STEM CCSS DIBELS
ELL EDEA ISTE
MOOC NCLB PBL
PLN SLO TIMS
ESL FAPE HQ
IDEA LMS NAEP
NGSS PD RTTT
STEAM VAM ESOL

I have another easier solution: Hire good teachers and get out of their way!
