520    Publisher's description: The first of its kind since the 
       1980s, this book provides authoritative definitions for 
       more than 2,600 terms that apply to educational research, 
       practice, and theory. The overall focus is on the most 
       critical terms in education as used by current 
       practitioners, yet references to significant historical 
       events in education are also included. Each of the 
       definitions is 25-250 words and has been written by a 
       knowledgeable practitioner or researcher in the field. 
       Included are acronyms and initialisms commonly used in the
       field, names and descriptions of relevant organizations, 
       and important legal decisions relating to education. An 
       extensive bibliography provides useful sources for further
       research. This reference work will be valuable for 
       professionals in the K-12 setting, students of education, 
       and educators and researchers in colleges of education. 
       Librarians at academic, public, and school libraries will 
       find the dictionary immensely useful in interpreting 
       education terminology.
