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, medical staff, nurses, volunteers, parents and workers in HHE
The PG will collect all the experiences of the project in a very concise and effective way.
The main chapters will include:
- comparison among National HHE procedures and experiences;
- brief résumé on main key factors emerged from the Focus Groups;
- a description of the profile of the HHE teacher;
- information on active services and best practices in ICT supporting HHE;
- collections of testimonials from the fieldwork experiences;
- hints and suggestions for the managing of HHE situations with the help of ICT.
Format: the PG will have a double shaped format, one more ‘traditional’, as a document available in printed format (in each partner language and in English), with a related and a more advanced one, as an e-book.
The practical guide is a book that will help the target groups to match the potentials of the tools, resources and practices available with the key theories and related good practices capable of substring learning and psycho-sociological inclusion processes of the child with a medical condition to meet the needs among the key problems such as those identified in the previous phases of the project.
The practical guide, conceived as described above, will be a support for the following ordinary activities and aspects, such as (for example):
- activation of home tuition or hospital learning;
- a/synchronous communication student/teacher/classmates;
- share documents and receive feedbacks;
- systemic communication and information sharing (relationships parents-doctors-teachers-children…);
- individualised teaching and learning for the ill student
- effective and complete education and the respect for the weaknesses;
- balance the ill student evaluation and the school “attendance” acknowledgment;
- the technical setup at home / hospital to activate ICT solutions to support HHE;
- the student’s perception of the inclusion process (quality of school life);
- the school re-entry and the school management of the ill student
