Education is of relevance to everyone but it involves a specialized
vocabulary and terminology which may be opaque or unfamiliar to
those new to the field. This UK-focused Dictionary of Education
provides clear and concise definitions for over 1,100 terms, from
A* to zero tolerance, that anyone studying education or working in
the field is likely to encounter. Coverage includes all sectors of
education: pre-school, primary, secondary, further and higher
education, special needs, adult and continuing education, and
work-based learning. It also includes major legislation, key
figures and organizations, and national curriculum and assessment
terminology. This second edition covers all the contemporary
reforms being introduced to revise the school examinations system
and to reform the process of initial teacher training in England
and Wales. Coverage of the vocabulary of education has also been
increased, and longer and more detailed entries are included for
terms relating to disability and inclusive practice, such as
autistic spectrum disorder, attention deficit, and dyslexia, and to
professional development, such as mentor.Entries regarding projects
and initiatives that are now obsolete have been deleted. The
dictionary features entry-level web links, accessible and kept up
to date via the Dictionary of Education companion website. Detailed
appendices include a timeline summary of landmark educational
legislation since 1945 and a glossary of acronyms. In addition,
there is a useful, fully cross-referenced section of comparative
terms used in the US, Canada, Australia, and South Africa. This
concise yet authoritative dictionary is essential for all students
of education, teachers, and lecturers on development programmes,
and it is strongly recommended for governors, classroom assistants,
and parents.
