As teachers, we assert we prepare students for life beyond school. We phrase this purpose in various ways, yet we agree on the central point of “preparation.”
Life beyond schooling includes vocabulary not evident in schools. Here is a sample of familiar words combined to yield technical meanings many alumni will encounter during their lives: automated reasoning (not without thinking), distributed intelligence (not stressed-out thinking), automated learning (not sleep learning), and resource optimization in grid matrix.
I wonder how teachers might use such vocabulary in classes in order to increase the odds that students will have sufficient preparation to handle such ideas later? Do you use this vocabulary for math class, English, or science?
