UMRdivers sub-project : Diversity – Orientation – Student Success
Location: Philipps University of Marburg
Secondary school teacher training: innovative – inclusive
The sub-project "Secondary School Teacher Training in Marburg: Innovative – Inclusive" focuses on the challenges of teacher training with regard to increasing diversity in schools and universities.
Teacher education addresses this in two ways: Firstly, the curriculum is conceptually and sustainably responding to the fact that, as a consequence of the increasingly heterogeneous student body in secondary schools, a more diverse student body is beginning teacher training. Secondly, due to the later, practical demands placed on teachers in various teaching and learning situations, diversity itself must become a subject in the professionalization process of the students.
Therefore, it is crucial to specifically address the various dimensions of diversity both in the orientation phase of studies and throughout the course of study, in order to equip students, as future teachers, for professional practice in diverse classrooms. To achieve this, the University of Marburg (UMR) is building on its successful work with seconded teachers in the project "Secondary School Teacher Training in Marburg: Innovative – Inclusive".
Secondary school teacher training in Marburg: innovative – inclusive, intertwining the handling of diversity as a subject-specific didactic and school-practical task with the associated acquisition of competence by diverse students themselves and focusing on the role of teachers in an innovative way.
