BFTP: BS Bingo - Education version

A weekend Blue Skunk "feature" will be a revision of an old post. I'm calling this BFTP: Blast from the Past. Original post, September 10, 2007. Comments to the original post, suggested adding 2.0, ELL, Bubble Kids, Assessment (Authentic, Self, Peer), Mentoring, Walkthrough, Realignment, Digital Natives, Achievement Gap, and Literacy coach among others.

New terms for today's BS Bing card? Common Core, Formative Assessment, Engagement, Entrepreneurial, Flipped, BYOD... what will feel cliche at your back to school meetings?

Mine start on Monday. Sigh.

After a long weekend of cliche-ridden organizational planning, I've developed an educational version of the popular "Bullshit Bingo" game.

First person at a meeting to hear these terms and complete a row, gets to yell "BULLSHIT."

I would welcome additional terms for the next version.

Oh, don't forget my guide to Bullshit Literacy.
