Alphabet Soup – TLC, RPDP, STEM. Huh??
Even for educators familiar with the lexicon, the acronyms in this world can be overwhelming. Everywhere I turn there is another acronym that needs explaining. This week at the legislature is no exception.
Yesterday, legislators received information from the Teachers and Leaders Council (TLC) that is creating the system for future teacher and administrator evaluations.
And, they heard an overview of the Regional Professional Development Program (RPDP) that deliver professional development to many of our teachers.
Tomorrow, the Senate Education committee will hear from a statewide panel of experts on the value of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) programs being implemented across the state, including here in Washoe County.
I anticipate there will be hearings about CCSS, SDLS, and the SPF in the near future. Stay tuned to find out about those exciting acronyms.
I’m sure there is a dictionary somewhere that has all the acronyms defined, and if you have it, please send it my way. Until then, I’ll be decoding them through the legislative process.
