2/23/17 About the Dictionary In education, written and verbal communications are often accented by the heavy use of acronyms. This “alphabet soup” allows the speaker or writer to increase efficiency, but often at the expense of clarity. This dictionary was created to help dispel unnecessary confusion. It is a fairly complete guide to the acronyms you will hear or read in your daily work. Using Acronyms When writing or speaking, please remember to refrain from using an acronym unless you are positive that every member of your audience will understand your meaning. All but the most common acronyms should be eliminated from official public communications. 401 (a) Qualified Retirement Plan for Terminal Sick Leave and Annual Leave 403(b) Tax Sheltered Annuity 403(b)(7) Tax Sheltered Account with Mutual Funds 457 Deferred Compensation Plan A/C Air Conditioning A+ PLAN Florida’s School Grading System A++ Plan 2006 legislation enhancing School Accountability Standards AAIDD Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities AAS American Association of Suicidology AASL American Association of School Librarians ABC Assist, Believe, Care Program ABC School Program A Business Community School Program ABCTE American Board for Certification of Teacher Excellence ABE Adult Basic Education ACA Affordable Care Act ACE Adult and Community Education ACGIH American Conference of Government Industrial Hygienists ACM Asbestos Containing Material ACP Achieve Center of Pasco ACP Alternative Certification Program ACR Achieve Center at Richey ACT American College Test ACTE Association for Career and Technical Education ADA Americans with Disabilities Act ADAA Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act of 2008 ADHD Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ADM Alcohol, Drug Abuse, Mental Health ADM Average Daily Membership AE Adult Education AECT Association for Educational Communications and Technology AES Anclote Elementary School AFC Average Final Compensation AFE Alliance for Family Engagement AFR Annual Financial Report AHCA Agency for Health Care Administration (Medicaid) AHERA Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act
