Educators are accused of speaking in acronyms, thus confounding and aggravating non- education leaders with whom they are trying to communicate and collaborate. But educators listening to a group of business or policy leaders discuss education will have the same "outsider" experience as they are confronted with a different set of acronyms. And even if all coalition members are careful to avoid acronyms in their conversations, the sharing of literature brings the problem back. One partial solution is to provide a Acronym Key for the organizations and programs that are most likely to be encountered. To see an example of Acronym Key of national business, education, and policy groups involved in mathematics, science, and technology education, click here - and then consider developing a similar Acronym Key specific to your state.
