</div>Hi Bishakha,<br>
<br>
This is a bit of a derail from your e-mail, but I wanted to clarify<br>
your use of the past tense (they *were* about contributing). I think<br>
the thread title here may be creating some confusion about what has<br>
actually happened. That, or else I may be confused myself :-)<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>Hey Sue,<br>
<br>
I used 'were' not because I think IEP and yes, thanks, GEP :) are dead - but to point out how they 'were' conceived.<br>
<br>Anyway, it's great that you clarified this, given the thread's title.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
The IEP as I understand it is not over:<br>
contrary to the subjectline of this thread, it hasn't "died." A number<br>
of schools have participated in the pilot phase of the IEP. My<br>
understanding is that the project has been mostly successful, except<br>
for one school, or set of schools, at which there were serious<br>
problems with plagiarism that, despite repeated efforts, the team<br>
couldn't get resolved.<br>
<br></blockquote><div>I'm hoping we'll hear more about the successes of the project, and eventually come to a balanced understanding of what worked and what didn't. <br><br>At this stage, we're hearing much more about what didn't work, so it's hard to assess the pilot meaningfully. <br>
<br>Cheers<br>Bishakha<br> <br></div></div>
