 In this episode, we provide simple definitions of some frequently used and important-to-know education terms, to make sure parents are on the same page with educators in these conversations. 

As we emerge from the pandemic and approach the new school year, many parents and educators are in discussions about classroom plans and strategies.We discuss what these terms mean in practice and give tips to help parents prepare for the fall classroom and advocate for their children.

Terms discussed include: Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) and Individualized Learning Plans (ILPs); Social-Emotional Learning (SEL); and Online Learning vs. Blended Learning.
