Education Glossary
Hi, my name is Matei I am second year college student at Montmorency College. I am currently studying in early childhood education, and I really enjoy my program. I created this glossary to enlighten students or educators on the potential vocabulary words that may be used in this particular field of study and work. My glossary consists of 20 terms accompanied by the definitions, a picture and an example used in a sentence. To find the terms, I went through my class notes and books. To find the definitions, I used the definitions found on google. For anyone that reads my glossary, just enjoy it.
