IMPEL Glossary ___________________________________________ A glossary of ELP implementation terminology Gisella Langé - IMPEL Workshop Graz, March 30, 2007

Implementation The process whereby an ELP is brought into systematic use by learners. It can be a complex process, incorporating planning, securing resources, promotion of the ELP concept among target teachers, learners and others, dissemination of advice and information, monitoring and evaluation. The European Ministers of Education recommend that the Governments of member states, in harmony with their education policies, implement or create conditions favourable for the implementation and wide use of the ELP according to the Principles and Guidelines laid down by the Education Committee. Successful implementation depends on clear goals, commitment, effective structures and support, and a sustained effort. Gisella Langé - IMPEL Workshop Graz, March 30, 2007 See IMPEL Glossary
