I'm not a big fan of some of the teaching jargon that's been coming out in the last few years, but the one I hate the most is "capacity-building." Basically, it means increasing the average amount of pedagogical knowledge amongst all teachers, with the idea that a broader base leads to a taller pyramid. But it's an incomprehensible term on its own, and of course it's been interpreted four hundred different ways by four hundred different districts.
