Global overview of Educational terms:
It is a condensation (from a book) produced by the
Texas Education Consumers Association for their web
site. This glossary of terms is more Global overview
of Educational terms rather than specific to Special
Education. We frequently hear these terms used
fluently at PTA® and Special Ed PTA® meetings and
especially at School Board meetings. I hope this
glossary will help you in navigating the world of
education.
