About the innovation

Toimintakykyarvio.fi-service

Valteri is a national Centre for Learning and Consulting operating under the Finnish National Agency for Education, and it supports the implementation of the neighbourhood school principle by offering a comprehensive range of services for the needs of general, intensified, and special support. The Valteri Centre for Learning and Consulting offers support for learning and school attendance to pupils, their families and staff working closely with them.

Toimintakykyarvio.fi is a service for describing functioning developed at Valteri Centre for Learning and Consulting. A description of functioning is used to identify a joint insight into the pupil’s functioning from the perspective of the pupil, the guardian and professionals working with the pupil in daily life. A description of the pupil’s functioning compiled from various perspectives helps pupils to identify their own strengths and need for support. Describing functioning together encourages discussion between the pupil, the guardians and the school.

The idea of the service is simple. The pupil, guardians and professionals each assess the pupil’s functioning with a web-based assessment tool on the basis of the prevailing situation. The service combines the participants’ answers into different views about the strengths and challenges of the pupil’s functioning. The functioning assessment describes, among other things, functioning in relation to learning, school attendance, interaction and well-being. In addition, it is possible to choose supplementary parts to further extend the description of functioning.

Information provided by the functioning assessment can be used when organising learning and related support, in guidance counselling and during the formulation of pedagogical documents. When information regarding functioning has been compiled, it is easier to set goals and plan the learning path. The functioning assessment is suitable for any pupil in preschool and primary school.

The service is also available in Swedish and English.


Implementation steps

Before creating the assessment, if the student is underage, you should request the guardians' consent to describe functioning. A PDF version of the consent form can be found at www.toimintakykyarvio.fi.

Register to the service with your email address, so that you can create new functioning assessments. It is free to register.

Create a new functioning assessment

Choose a suitable set of questions on the basis of the pupil’s age and functioning. The choices are

Think of an identifier for the assessment of functioning, and note it down for yourself. Do not use the pupil’s personal data.

Choose suitable sections for describing the pupil’s functioning. The recommended sections suit everyone. You can explore the questions in different sections one at a time by clicking Show questions.

Choose the participants and write down their emails next to their role. A link for replying will be sent to their emails.

Write, for instance, the recommended reply date in the cover note.

Completed functioning assessment

When all the participants have replied, the creator of the assessment gets to examine the different views of functioning description.

You can make a tailored synopsis of the views, and enter the most meaningful strengths, need for support and issues about which the participants have different views.

It is worthwhile to discuss the finished description of functioning together, so that the support measures for learning and school attendance will be structured and strengths can be strengthened!
