Discourse Community and Jargon

My article has some Jargon, but not very much. There are acronyms such as ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) and CSTA (Computer Science Teachers Association) and ACM-EPC(ACM Education Policy Commitee). The Article is taken from an academic journal, so the writer assumes that the reader is already familiar with these acronyms. I am learning that my discourse community, the computer science field, is looking to expand its novice induction through high school courses in computer science. I am also learning that there are changing theories on how inductees should be trained. Experts in the community agree that learning from a younger age leads to more successful computer sciences, and they also believe that their field is useful in multiple different professions, and they want more young students to be exposed to the field of computer science.
