IMPEL Glossary

___________________________________________

A glossary of ELP implementation terminology


‘Bottom-up’ See IMPEL Glossary

A familiar term referring to both learning and management styles. Where it applies to learning, it denotes an exploration and discovery approach in which the learner arrives autonomously at knowledge and understanding and then interacts with the teacher to confirm and consolidate these. It can also denote an implementation process in which teachers are the driving force in innovation, rather than inspectors or advisers. (cf. ‘top down’ q.v.)


‘Top-down’

A familiar term referring to both learning and management styles. In learning, it denotes a teacher-led approach in which all knowledge is passed down to pupils who have a somewhat passive role in the process. In a management context it can describe the imposition of, e.g., innovation, by advisers and inspectors rather than its evolution in the classroom. (cf. ‘bottom-up’ q.v.)

ISSUES for ELP implementation


Increasing success = increasing use

= increasing costs

Who pays what: government, publishers, schools, students, parents?

Crucial issues •Preventing ELP proliferation :the new tool should not conflict with existing national ELP development and implementation policies and approaches

• Preventing competition with existing national/regional ELPs: the new tool should not be perceived as something taking the place of ELPs but as something to enhance their value and link ELP-using crossborder communities.
