Guidelines for Teachers



Module 3
Educational Activities

The third Area of KeyCode Guidelines is devoted to the analysis of practical examples of various activities implemented during the project at a national level. This chapter is organized through 5 Cards presenting exemplary and motivational best practices guiding teachers on the successful planning and implementation of classroom learning paths.

Each Card represents a learning path (module) that connects emotional intelligence to the promotion of EU fundamental values. The activities included in each Card have been adopted by the various School Partners during the project and the involved teachers have had the opportunity to evaluate their impact on the school environment. In particular, the Cards select those activities that have been considered as the most effective on a specific critical issue at school (such as bullying, discrimination, marginalization of students from vulnerable groups, lack of self-awareness and recognition of fundamental values).

The Cards address at least 2 different objectives and 3 different areas of emotional intelligence which are thus tackled. Each Card includes at least 3 different activities taken for the Project’s Teaching Sources (IO1) and describes a path that should be carried out consistently and not occasionally in the involved class to maximise its effects. It is also possible for teachers to use multiple Cards in defining their individual learning objectives and learning paths towards inclusion and the development of empathy with reference to the diverse issues that each class may present.
