This is where you will find acronyms utilized in the field of education. Acronyms make us feel, like, smart and stuff.

ABA = Applied Behavior Analysis--because we apply things that we studied in real life, unlike other sciences, I guess

AP = Assistant Principal fka Vice Principal--because Principals need helpers that are trying to be a good boys so they can get the Principal job one day

BIP = Behavior Improvement Plan--because student behavior is so terrible that we must formalize a plan to continue to deal with it in perpetuity

CCRT = Climate and Culture Resource Teacher–because when we don't have enough money to pay for APs, we will have "special teachers" do their work

DEI = Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion--because every decade, white people have to co-opt some other word to make a modern word for nigger

ESE = Exceptional Student Education aka Special Ed.--which also includes gifted students, but we usually aren't talking about them because everyone is gifted

FBA = Functional Behavior Assessment--because we have to figure out why students are terrible while teachers continue to suffer

HCPS = Hillsborough County Public Schools--the district that pays lower than surrounding districts, but it didn't always used to be this way

IEP = Individualized Education Plan--because exceptional students need a plan to meet their needs and also...let me just stop writing...

MCS = Manatee County Schools--because even hick-ass districts can pay much more than HCPS if they want to keep SCS from eating their teachers

PBIP = Positive Behavior Improvement Plan– because if it isn't positive, then we are like torturing kids and stuff

RtI = Response to Intervention--because there should be evidenced-based interventions, and we should be monitoring the responses, but someone has to monitor us monitoring it even if there is no evidence or basis

SCS - Sarasota County Schools--where MCS staff goes when they get tired of group think, only to join the whitest elite group think

SW= Social Worker; off-campus = Sex Worker--because students have so many issues that we need at least one person dedicated to solving the world's problems
