Self-assessment tool

This tool is a way to detect your strengths and weaknesses as a teacher, when working on STEM topics in the classroom or other learning environments (such as Fablabs or Makerspaces).
Answer a few questions and we will show you a report on your competences. We will use this report to automatically redirect you to a selection of workshops suitable for your level.


Already have a code? Just enter it here and only make changes to some of the questions without having to answer all of them again! Perhaps you made progress since last time?
Let’s check it out!

In this report, you can see your scores on the different aspects that are linked to teaching in a high tech open learning environment. Scores include the promotion of 21st century skills of your students, your ability to use technological equipment, and your general ability to teach in an open learning environment.
Based on your scores, you get a Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum label. A ‘best match’ selection of workshops is provided. These workshops will challenge you to improve your skills at your own pace. You can also choose another workshop from our collection. Workshops are assigned with a bronze, silver, gold, or platinum label for each aspects, so you can easily see what is at your level.

Result chart

Save this PDF file with your scores and profile. It contains a link which will always take you to a selection of workshops relevant to your scores. But remember that you can always take the test again and see if and where you have improved your skills!

Here’s a cool idea for you!

You can use the assessment tool as an evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses within your organization. Group analysis can start by doing the assessment of each member individually, and bringing the results together. Then you can discuss and evaluate the skills of your team and come up with a strategy to improve them. Results PDFs can be downloaded at the end of each individual assessment.
