Educational Lingo Bingo
|
17 April 2007
Inspired by the NCTM conference in Atlanta with "educators", I'm putting together a bunch of educational jargon onto BINGO cards for staff development days. So far I have the following. I'm not sure what I should add or take away. Any thoughts? Many are math specific because I got most from the NCTM program's descriptions of sessions. Some of them make me laugh just to hear them.

sounds about right :) what's with the letters though? am i being slow?
Regarding the letters: I put them in there when I was trying to get all 26 letters represented.
They still say "research-based" about a jillion times at each one of our pd's.
You forgot "accountability", "multiple intelligences" and "curriculum standards"
There is actually a website that will make the BINGO cards for you- it's called "Bullshit Bingo".
I think that sounds about right.
Thanks for the reminder- I think I'll make some for our inservice next week. We will need to include "Trajectory", "Sub groups", "ITEDS", and the new favorites in our district: "Rigor" and "Relevance".
As a Spanish teacher, I love language and linguistics, but I HATE Educationese.
How about Q-Comp for Q?
> at-risk
> standards-based
> brain-based
> the research shows
> IEP
I am so sick of all this bs education speak...that's why I've ditched every faculty meeting for the last year and every professional development set at my school.........It is annoying and does nothing to further education
While I certainly have sat through faculty meetings and professional development opportunities that were less than outstanding, it makes me think sick when I hear teachers talking about skipping these things because they often DO do something to further education. It might be time for Anonymous to get out of teaching, if this is the attitude.
What about accommodations and modifications?
I'm a SPED teacher and those are what I hear non-stop in my trainings. Recently, accountable talk has become very popular.
For Q how about "Questioning the Author."
For F how about "Facilitator"
You for got
"Re-invent the Wheel"
"Collaboration Model"
"English Language Learner"
"Program Improvement"
"Action Plan"
"Cognitive Coaching"
It's interesting how few references to student learning (such as direct learning, learning rates) and teaching (such as direct instruction) appear in lists like this one of education jargon. I wonder why? Bob
F - funding
Q - questioning strategies
W- Whole child instruction
V- value-added instruction

What about Multiple Intelligences
Great Blog! Very Useful! Thanks!
There are rumours that bingo is being banned in the US, is that true?
In the UK, bingo has suffered in recent months due to the ban on smoking in public places, causing smoking customers to either go outside for a cig and face the harsh cold (not a good move for the aged) or stay at home and not play, thus reducing the Bingo Gossip. But banning bingo completely is ridiculous! It is a very mind form of gambling at the most! If you’re going to ban bingo then the lottery has to go too surely? Isn’t that gambling?
Bingo is a number game, based on pure luck, so really it’s not even similar to other gambling games such as poker and sports betting. It’s just like buying a lottery ticket just you have to get more numbers! So then why is it such a problem? Its just takes away the older generations entertainment while the younger generations indulge in perfectly “legal” things like DRUGS! Can they not see which the bigger problem is?
thanks for the bingo lingo info
