 GELP has come up with a blueprint – a series of strategies – for reforming education systems.
-These strategies are outlined in a 2013 publication, ''Redesigning Education'', which, GELP hopes, will also be used by countries as yet untouched by GELP.

 GELP’s ‘roadmap’ for radical reform of whole education systems is made up of the following components:

 GELP are 'thought leaders' in education reform. However, pinning down its thoughts on what a reformed education system would look like isn't easy. Words used by GELP to describe its vision include: 'open', 'diverse', 'long term-focused', 'equity-centered', 'teacher-powered', ' collaborative' and 'humanizing'.

 It is, however, a report of contradictory positions. While, on the one hand, the report echoes concerns expressed about the privatisation and commercialisation of education through technology, the vision it advocates, while not entirely clear, appears not to address these concerns.

 These communities include: education system leaders, including politicians and officials, companies invested in education technology, edtech investors, think tanks and lobby groups, individual developers, early adopter teachers, as well as 'innovation labs' like the [[Innovation Unit]] that hosts GELP, and others.

 GELP cites itself as an example of a 'nested community'. Organisations in GELP's community include: the [[Innovation Unit]] started by the UK's [[Department for Education]] and [[Nesta]], which was established by [[Tony Blair]]'s government in 1998; corporate and philanthropic funders [[Cisco]], [[Promethean]], and the [[Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation]]; as well as wider networks that include a vast number of edtech champions, that includes: [[Google]], [[Microsoft]], [[RSA]], [[Education Foundation]], [[Facebook]], [[Demos]], [[Nominet Trust]], [[Pearson]], [[McKinsey & Company]], [[World Summit on Innovation in Education]], [[OECD]], [[Asia Education Foundation]], [[Bloomberg Philanthropies]] and many others.

 GELP sees these 'nested communities' as an essential part of what it calls the 'social movement' for reform (the other components being chains of independently-run schools, parent/pupil demand, and a changed workforce - see below for more on these). However, this movement for education reform appears unlike most other social movements, such as the women's movement, or the Labour movement. GELP, for example, is corporately funded; it directs from the centre; and appears not to enjoy popular support. Also, its aims could be seen as more beneficial to corporate interests, particularly the edtech interests funding it, rather than pupils and wider society, particularly given the lack of evidence that the reforms it advocates raise standards.
-Other nested communities cited by GELP include New York City's iZone project, a 'community of innovation', which has been supported by [[Cisco]] and which has had substantial input from the UK's [[Innovation Unit]] and its head, [[David Albury]]. Alongside John White, a promient US education reformer, the team helped the City's education policy-makers come up with an 'innovation strategy', 'developed the overall design and innovation process and supported the community'. GELP has also helped to develop communities in Brazil, Australia and British Columbia.
