Joint learning (GL) of children with and without special support needs
All of our students come to our school with diverse cultural, social and religious experiences. The resulting differences in development and experience can be found in our students. A colorful mix of children in our study groups and classes is part of the reality in our lessons.
Since we want to “be a school for everyone”, we welcome the differences. It is our aim to promote all students according to their abilities and talents. It is important to understand and use diversity as an opportunity. Accordingly, we try to support all students on their individual learning paths.
For our school, the implementation of inclusion means that we support all students regardless of their abilities, attitudes or restrictions, as long as this is within our personal and spatial possibilities.
We have also been promoting pupils who have special educational needs at our school for many years.
We particularly encourage children with learning and developmental disorders at our school. These are children with impairments in the areas of “learning”, “language” and “emotional and social development”. Depending on the extent of the impairment, we also support children who have a special educational need for support in the areas of “hearing and communication”, “mental development” and “physical and motor development”.
At the moment, our class and subject teachers are supported by two special education teachers in implementing joint learning. This means that one class is occupied by one teacher and one special education teacher on an hourly basis. Depending on the needs, both teachers teach the class in team teaching or the special education teacher takes on a small group. It is important to us that both teachers are the contact person for all children so that no child is excluded.
The special education teachers also advise the teachers on the development of suitable support materials, measures to strengthen social skills and difficulties in all areas of learning. We do not work deficit-oriented but always with an eye on the strengths of the children.
