Portfolio task: a case study of a school facility management (pre-school, primary school, secondary school, university) with emphasis on management of processes in the organization, description of individual parts of management, recognition of educational management specifics and their comparison with selected approaches from general management, selection of one field for the SWOT analysis. (It can be realized in e.g. faculty schools, where students have their teaching practice in the master programme.) Group work (teams of three members). To gain the credit, a test in school legislation must be passed (pass mark 70 %) and group work in a form of the portfolio task must be accepted by the teacher. The criteria for assessing the portfolio task are: quality of the professional placement of the selected topic (40 %), quality of analyses and conclusions (40 %), and the formal aspect of a presentation of a case study (20 %), see the following subject Basics of Academic Skills.
