More Education Deform Buzz Words I'm Sick Of
Readers added some fine examples of education deform jargon and buzz words that many people are just plain sick of to this post from last week.
Here are some:
High Performing Charter Schools (which often are high performing because they toss anybody who doesn't perform at that level out -see here)
Bold Reform.
Transformational Change.
The Best and Brightest.
Teachers as "Human Capital" and children as "Valuable Assets."
STEM
Data-Driven Instruction
Quality Review

The five are Bronx District Attorney Robert Johnson, Nassau County DA Kathleen Rice, Onondaga County
