Schools and Good Practices search

Welcome to the to the search area for schools and good practices!

Below you will find selected examples from several countries in Europe. More will come as we build the Virtual Guide.

You can either search by country or by 8 different selected areas (Good Practices) or by both. The examples are meant to be of help in your own practice and when implementing entrepreneurship education in your school. You can probably not use them exactly as they are in the examples, but they may be a good start and a source of inspiration.

In the column to the right on this page, you will see some Case Study Schools which are good practitioners of entrepreneurial learning.

We cooperate with Junior Achievement and the Association of Young Entrepreneurs and through these organisations we cooperate with companies, whose people come to our school to give presentations, teach students and explain about specific topics.

Hotelova akademia Bratislava; introducing entrepreneurial learning to students

This school cooperates with Junior Achievement Slovakia (JASR) and does some projects with them. The teacher usually explains to students about each project, shows them the JASR website and invites experienced students who have already participated in such a project to talk about their work, experiences, and the knowledge they have gained. Each project is displayed on a big noticeboard at the school to motivate other students to participate.

We cooperate with companies willing to accept our students for their one month training. Unfortunately, there are not many companies willing to support education this way.

The best students/workers are given a chance to work for the company after graduating.

Rules for assessment and records are stated in our school curriculum and are based on our marking system where 1 = best and 5 = worst. Twice a year, at the end of each term, students are given school reports - the overall evaluation of their achievement in all subjects. In addition, students keep records of their work in a portfolio where both teacher and student can see their development over time.

Our school is kept informed about every single step of Students Company. General Assembly is the first place to introduce the company's activities such as their business plan and future actions.

Secondary Grammar School Kosice; introducing entrepreneurial learning to students

First phase: before every prepared enterprise event/activity we have business meetings where we select an event leader. He/She must prepare and image the whole event, how it will work, what and who is needed to help as co-workers. The leader defines the product, price, promotion, place and the working hours for the co-workers.

The second phase is the realisation of the event/activity. Every participant must be able to cope with their work responsibilities and must complete them in time.

The third phase is the analysis of the event/activity. Every leader has to thank the co-workers, analysing both the good and not-so-good aspects of the venture, identifying what could have gone better and informing the team about their financial situation.

Secondary Grammar School Kosice; time in the curriculum
Entrepreneurial Learning is part of the normal curriculum. It takes place in timetabled time, usually after Period 7. For every event a student leader is identified who is given 10 hours to complete their part in the activity. Co-workers are allocated as many hours for their responsibilities as the leader thinks to be appropriate for them.
