Ok group! So I have a challenge for us this week. It is in fact the same challenge I put myself through anytime I am bored in a training or PD. I call it the acronym challenge. The way it works is that you have to write a complete sentence using only acronyms from education. Here is an example. "EIP students don't have IEPs because they are still in SST." Got it? Okay, so not entirely acronyms minus some verbage, but you get the idea. Here are some more example I pulled out of my PD notebook...
"How do the F&P and MAP scores compare to SLO and CAAS data?"
"Does the SABO binder have the FLP and FOCUS budgets in it?"
"Do students with ADHD or ADD need to have an OHI/504?"
"I have no idea which reading score to take a DIBELS, DRA, STAR, AR, or LEXILE?"
To guide you on your quest for domination, here is some resources with frequently used acronyms. Do your worst!

So there's NCLB, I had to get an EdS in order to figure out whether I had an ELL/ESOL/EL, EIP, SPED with an IEP, BD, GT, or GE student, but I had to keep it to myself according to FERPA!
