E-Mail: rosa. So far, however, no reliable description or conceptualisation exists with regard to the professional background and the qualification of teaching assistants. It is therefore left to the local parties involved to decide on granting teaching assistance and to select suitable persons.
The aim of the project is to develop and establish a curriculum for continuing education of teaching assistants. Developing a time- and resource-economic curriculum for initial and advanced training should make a valuable contribution to the current discussion on inclusion without releasing schools from their responsibility for the different needs of their pupils.
In addition, 50 interviews were held with experts involved in teaching assistance. Based on this information, a curriculum was developed, tested with experts and continuously developed in close exchange with focus groups and practical and scientific advisory boards of the project. In spring and summer , two multiplier training courses each took place to make the qualification measure available to the general public and to consolidate it.
The teaching assistants curriculum is made available to trained multipliers in the form of a handbook. Participants in the training receive free materials for teaching assistants. Fegert, JM, Henn, K. The current situation of school counsellors and their improved training and further education.
