General Note "EdSpeak is my attempt to explain in everyday language the esoteric terms, expressions, and buzzwords used in U.S. education today. Some of these terms are multisyllabic replacements for simple, easily understood words; others describe government programs or the arcane technology of testing. I also added biographies of a few key figures who shaped the philosophy and practice of education, with only one proviso: no biographies of living persons. I decided to prepare this glossary so that others—be they parents, aspiring professionals, administrators, teachers, or just regular readers—would not be puzzled when they heard an unfamiliar term from a member of the profession." -- Publisher website.
