Policy process - internal:

1. 1-22 September – Classroom teachers apply to take part in the different entrepreneurial JAPortugal (JAP) Programmes;
2.  October-December – JAP allocates volunteers to project schools and sends the checklist and other materials, such as Diagnostic/Final Test to each class, the different Programmes, table records with authorizations of parents for the students;
3. January-February - Volunteers' training given by JAP; Contact of the volunteers with the co-ordinator or with classroom teachers (policy process is always conducted by the co-ordinator in collaboration with JAP); To begin the activities in each class, a meeting takes place between classroom teacher, the volunteer and teacher co-ordinator; The programmes begin with the use of the diagnostic test and the final test is also used - they are the direct observation for evaluation by the teacher and the volunteer. The co-ordinator is always informed about the application's activities. An analysis of the results on a grid for that specific purpose is given by JAP and uploaded by the coordinator/teachers and volunteers. These grids are submitted to JAP and all the process is monitored by the co-ordinator. In addition, online surveys are also submitted at the end of the programme, as well as tailored activity reports.

The School Development Plan reflects Entrepreneurial Learning in the following references:

1. Our aim is to guide the students to handle the basic information of curriculum learning goals, to be active and have new ideas above the old ones.
2. It is also important that teachers in the school interact well together; teachers need to share a common vision about their core job - which is SUPPORTING THE LEARNING PROCESS.
3. The school needs to develop itself as a whole through ensuring that all its actions are performed at satisfactory level and that the best areas are developed to an even higher level; this can help to give the school its character and a kind of market value in the minds of the whole community.

We have gathered examples of good practice among our municipality schools into a written document. It contains entrepreneurial practices with all classes from the 1st to the 9th study year.

The written document is also shared on our intranet. Every school has their own teacher who is responsible for explaining these practices to new teachers, and the headmasters have to lead this process in their schools.

The most important thing in Entrepreneurial Learning is to develop the students' intrapreneurship. A teacher needs to know their students very well, their capabilities in the learning process and their different personalities.

A teacher also needs to use such pedagogic tools that enable students to play an active role in their learning and to use their creativity. Students need to be allowed to take risks and should receive realistic and supportive feedback from their assignments. Developing good interaction skills is also a very important goal in this process.

The School Development Plan includes the following reference to Entrepreneurial Learning:

• In each school year, entrepreneurial learning activities are included in the Annual Activities Plan of the School and in the Annual Activities Plan of each class. These activities are proposed, discussed and aproved by the "Conselho Pedagógico do Agrupamento de Escolas" (School Pedagogical Council Meeting), the place where all the the pedagogical guidelines and decisions of the school are discussed and taken.

Entrepreneurial programmes are supported by formal plans and protocols.

Entrepreneurial programme sessions in Elementary School are often included in the curricula and are usually developed through the lessons of the main subject areas, namely, Portuguese, Maths and Environmental Study. Most programmes promote it during 1 session per week.
