Need resources to innovate your hospital teaching?
A Toolkit for Home and Hospital Teachers
Finally the long-awaited LeHo HHE toolkit is ready! You can find Tools, Resources and institutional information on the Home and Hospital Education all over Europe and more.
Teaching children with medical needs
HHE: a guide to international innovative practice
This book will help the HHE teachers to match the potentials of the tools, resources and practices available in the LeHo Toolkit with the key theories and related good practices. It will be a support for the following ordinary activities and aspects of the HHE teachers.
Recomendations to Policy Makers
Towards a EU Model
The LeHo European model is addressed to Policy Makers of every level, from school and hospital directors to regional and national all over Europe (and over). It includes:
- a wide overview on the complex and evolving world of HHE
- suggestions on how to disseminate the best practices in HHE.
- help to integrate in their policies and decisions the use of ICT to support the HHE.
The document summarizes three years of LeHo works in less than 10 pages.
Key Educational Factors
Key educational factors for education of children with medical needs
A review of the literature on key factors in education and in educational psychology was conducted and its Kkey Educational Ffactor (KEF) were outlined and organised into a limited number of categories. Subsequently, these factors were compared with existing literature on the education of children with a medical condition. The KEF were presented and discussed at the Hospital Organisation of Pedagogies in Europe conference in Bucarest in 2014.

Quality of student experience scale
The Quality of Student Experience Scale is based upon previous instruments and has three main dimensions:
1. Maintaining: refers to how the Home and Hospital Education (HHE) helps students maintain pre-illness skills/activities.
2. Improving: refers to how HHE helps students improve and grow in their learning, despite their medical conditions.
3. Overall: refers to the overall perception of the student of his/her school experience
Target: teachers in HHE
To support the education of teachers all over EU in the use of the open/web2.0 solutions in their specific context a special tool-kit will be designed and implemented and made available for free on the website.
The aim is to facilitate the approach with the technological tools through the use of tutorials (made by file or videos) enriched with examples of use in different modes.
The kit will be a collection of resources in terms of:
- Glossary of HHE terms in various languages from WP 4;
- Good practices and examples from WP 4;
- Taxonomy from WP 5;
- Multilanguage version of a quality of student life scale from WP 5;
- Video interviews and multimedia material from the Fieldwork Experiences of WP 5;
- Online lectures from WP 6;
- Useful online resources identified and provided in WP 6.
The Toolkit (TK) will be hosted in the online Hub and will provide hints, helps and tools for teachers.
The Toolkit, conceived as described above, will be a support for the teacher to find good practices and examples to give answer to questions such as (for example):
- How the technologies may support and make the hospital/home teaching more effective?
- How ICT can support the ill child/youngster in terms of sense of hope, participation, proximity with their classmates and teachers?
- How can the experimentation for the Hospital School create a process of improvement in the school in general?
- Which other advantages are given by the use of ICT tools in the classroom to support the teaching in general and not only in these specific conditions?
