Translating Every Day Language into Educational Jargon
Translating Every Day Language into Educational Jargon
Beverley Paine
Beverley Paine
Learn to take your children's everyday activities and wrap them up in the jargon of school – not only to help you report your children's learning to educational authorities if you need to, but also to help build your confidence that no matter what your children are doing, it is probably covered somewhere in the school curriculum – and it's definitely learning!
Beginning with an exploration of what jargon is and why it used, and the benefits of becoming confident (if not comfortable!) users of it, Beverley gives some examples of how we can use it when recording what and how our children are learning. There are also practical examples showing how to decode jargon, and a list of educational jargon with which you can have a play!

"I sat in a cafe about 9 years ago with that booklet to help myself learn the jargon and 11 years in, its almost natural speech!" Lusi Austin, That Homeschool Life
"You've kept a lot of us afloat when we were sinking. If only everyone would read your books while de-schooling their kids." Geradine, NSW
Thoughtful reflections, practical reassurance, and lived wisdom for home educating families.
Thoughtful reflections, practical reassurance, and lived wisdom for home educating families.
The Always Learning collection brings together a series of reflective, experience-based eBooks written for parents who want to understand learning more deeply – beyond curriculum, checklists, and outcomes.
Grounded in decades of homeschooling and unschooling practice, these books explore how children actually learn, how parents grow alongside them, and how education unfolds naturally through everyday life, relationships, curiosity, and trust.
Rather than offering rigid methods or prescriptive programs, the Always Learning collection invites you to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most in home education: meaningful learning, respectful relationships, and confidence in your child’s innate capacity to grow.
Inside the collection you’ll find:
Reflections on learning, childhood, and education drawn from lived experience
Gentle challenges to school-centred thinking
Reassurance for parents navigating doubt, pressure, or uncertainty
Language to help articulate your philosophy of home education
Permission to trust yourself and your children
