Purpose of the toolkit
MyKey aims to validate skills, knowledge and competences acquired through non-formal and also informal learning related to the key competences and transversal skills.
Description of each of the tools
MyKey aims to reduce early school leaving and improve students' performance in schools. MyKey is based on a holistic approach building on skills, knowledge and competences acquired through non-formal and also informal learning related to the key competences and transversal skills. In a nutshell, students at risk are able to document their non-formal/informal knowledge, skills and competences. Based on that it is possible to evaluate these activities and generate a certificate which can be authenticated by the school.
The consortium developed an overall implementation strategy and three accompanying guides for students, teachers and administrators, supporting schools and other institutions interested in using and implementing MyKey. All materials are available for free in English, Italian, Greek, Romanian and German.
The developed materials include:
- Step-by-step guide for students for the use of MyKey,
- Information Pack for teachers for the use of MyKey,
- Guide for School Administrators,
- Letter of consent (parents, school agreement) (English sample),
- Questionnaires for Students/Teachers/Admins for evaluating MyKey,
- Case Study of a student (sample for showing the potential and possibilities of MyKey),
- MyKey Certificate (English sample),
- Non-For-Lesl flyer (English sample).
