The Training Ground

Jargon-busting glossaries

Let's get technical. 2ic, HoDs, APP, AfL, LSU, ALS, AST, NASUWT, NUT, Pfs, GTC, BETT, CET, VLE, FE, DCSF, ESW, INSET, NATE, GTC, LSA, TA, EAL, WBS, ENOUGH! Hunt down that acronym in our sanity saving glossary.

There are two glossaries here. One contains a selection of educational terms and acronyms, and the other provides you with some specific terminology associated with English teaching. This glossary is taken from Grammar for Writing, National Literacy Strategy publication DFEE 0107/2000 - over ten years on, this is still valid and useful! There may be a copy in your Library or in your school's English office. 

We're always looking to update our list of key terms, so any suggestions for additions will be welcomed.
