Action plan Implementing the ELP 25 September 2004 Graz/Österreich
Implementation of ELP will probably be a temporary problem • If the ELP does what it should do than it proofs itself • Learners who start working with ELP on primary level will keep on working with it • If it is not possible to let ELP become part of (school)curriculum we might have a problem (in the short term) • The schools are probably the only (?) way to implement ELP
Points of attention of an action plan • Make clear what the goals are (e.g. 15% 50%) • Formulate goals for different target groups • School • World of work • Parents • Try to express what the benefits of using the ELP are. (What kind of problem will be solved?) • Develop a communication plan (Who should be convinced of what?What are the best ways?
Conditions • (Validated) ELP necessary. (You can not sell a product that only exists in the minds of developers) • Make sure it is available for the target group(s) • Finances
Target group: school • Learners • Motivation, self assessment, learning to learn, planning (objectives of teachers unless they can be 'translated' in positive learner goals ) • Use ELP in world of work (in …. years) • Hardly an argument for younger learners
Understand function of parts of portfolio • Focus on what learner is able to (positive feelings) • Make clear this is 'European activity' • Make clear what the (short term) benefit will be • Relate the textbook to the CEF • Use learners as experts in implementation process • Make clear the ELP is part of the curriculum • Give ELP additional value
Target group: school • School management • Benefits for management • Get clear educational (language) standards • Possible coping with diversity • Get the language teachers 'on the move' • Get coherence between languages learned at school • Set up goals for shorter periods • 'doorlopende leerlijnen' • Commitment necessary because of facilitating teachers
Target group: school • Teachers : are key persons • Needs: • Let them make experiences with ELP themselves • Make them understand the idea of CEF • Let them know what role of ELP is • Let them get an open mind for changes in FL-learning • Let them know they are the key persons • Let them find out: more open curriculum is necessary • But it should not be a 'lonely' struggle
Possible actions • Make some teachers 'experts' in their schools • Provide them with all kinds of information • Training • Learning materials • Use their expertise
Communication plan • All actions/interventions have a reason • Different actions for different target groups • Different target groups ask for different actions
Possible actions (communication plan) • Newsletter (electronic or traditional) for teachers in the project and teachers (or others) who are interested • Information platform to share positive feelings and exchange solutions • Informative articles in press (national and local) (parents/employers) • Show good practises (parents/employers) • Let parents get experiences with ELP
Inform platforms of employers • flyers • Let them make experiences • Show international transparency • Organize conferences with as much as possible impact.
