Translations for Education Terms

The Center for the Improvement of Student Learning (CISL), in partnership with the Migrant and Bilingual Education Programs at the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, released the in-depth English/Spanish glossary of education terms in June of 2007. This valuable resource for educators and parents helps to alleviate confusion when translating or reading education documents. When sending a document to a translation service, provide the translator with a link to the appropriate glossary. This will ensure clearer and more consistent translations.

Thanks to the collaboration of Puget Sound ESD, Seattle Public Schools and Vancouver Public Schools, the glossary is now available in Russian, Somali and Vietnamese.

Glossary of Education Terms - English/Russian
