MAEd - English
2. The bottom-up orientation
• Innovation that starts from the field and
spreads to different schools.
• Brought about by the unique characteristics of
educational issues that called for a linkage
strategy in planning and a central role of
improvisation in the educational setting.
• Encourage numerous small school-level
innovations
educational issues
-social protection
-structural
looseness/loosely coupled
character
-other educational
problems
3. • Social protection is concerned with protecting and helping those who are poor
and vulnerable, such as children, women, older people, people living with
disabilities, the displaced, the unemployed, and the sick. There are ongoing
debates about which interventions constitute social protection, and which category
they fit under, as social protection overlaps with a number of livelihoods, human
capital and food security interventions (Harvey et al., 2007).
• Loosely Coupled Systems interconnected entities or events that are
responsive, but still preserve their own identity and some evidences of
physical/logical separateness. (ex: teacher and principal in a school)
4. The top-down orientation
• Innovation that starts from a central unit or body
(e.g. DepEd) which is disseminated to teachers.
• Comprehensive reform
• Nationwide innovations
7. Culture
• Defines expectations
• Gives meaning to instructional
activities
• Bridges action and results
• School culture holds loosely coupled
systems

Notes to presenter:
What steps will you be taking as a result of this learning experience?
Did you learn from any failed experiences? How will you do things differently?
What advice will you give to others so they can learn from your experiences?
How can you share what you learned with a real-world audience?
Some examples of next steps might be:
After delivering my first persuasive presentation, I am thinking about joining the debate team.
After making my first film, I’m considering entering it in our school film festival or local film festival.
After connecting with this career expert, I’d like to do some research on that career field because it sounds interesting to me.
