SOCCES Handbook - Assessment of Transversal Competences : Focus on Entrepreneurship, Sense of Initiative and Social Skills

Abstract

This handbook was created as a part of the SOCCES project. SOCCES stands for SOCial Competences, Entrepreneurship and Sense of Initiative – Development and Assessment Framework. SOCCES was a two-year project running from 1/2/2015 to 31/1/2017 and funded by European Commission Erasmus+ Programme. It involved seven partners from six European countries. The aim was to develop an assessment framework for transversal competences. SOCCES focused two competences, Sense of Initiative and Entrepreneurship, and Social Competences.

This handbook provides teachers with the means to: - Define and describe these entrepreneurial and social competences for their students - Support students with the development of these competences in an inclusive, virtually enabled setting - Assess and provide feedback to their students on how they are progressing in the development of entrepreneurial and social competences

And it provides learners with: - The means to describe, self-assess and benchmark their entrepreneurial and social competences - The language to articulate these competences to others such as teachers and employers - A means to develop with them in an accessible, virtually enabled environment

This project received funding from the European Union’s Erasmus+ Programme under grant agreement N° 2014-1-UK01-KA203-001660
