Collaboration Opportunities

Implementation Support and Consultancy

Are you planning to implement an innovative school program or teaching concept and require objective advice, support, or scientific evaluation? We offer personalized support, guide teachers and lecturers during implementation, and accompany practice-oriented projects as well as student theses.

Professional Development for Teachers and Lecturers

Based on the current state of research, a range of professional development programs for teachers has been developed, implemented, and evaluated under my leadership in recent years, including:

• Certificate program “Dealing with Diversity in Everyday Educational Practice”
  
  (in cooperation with the Institute for Pedagogy and School Psychology of the City of Nuremberg)

• “Vocational German” meets “German Language Support in Teaching” at vocational schools in Zurich
  
  (teacher exchange between Switzerland and Germany within the Leonardo da Vinci Program in cooperation with the Government of Middle Franconia)

• “Language Support in Subject Teaching at Vocational Schools”
  
  (various formats, including blended learning and online formats)

• “Integrated Content and Language Learning in Vocational (Adaptation) Qualification” for lecturers

• “German for Medicine” for lecturers in vocational (adaptation) qualification programs

Schools and educational institutions are also currently welcome to contact us if they are interested in implementation support, consultancy, or professional development.

Current Focus Areas

At present, we primarily offer support in the following areas:

• Language support in vocational training, employment, and continuing education

• Support and guidance for refugees in vocational education

• Inclusion in vocational education

• Individual competence assessment and development

• Transition support

We place particular emphasis on systematic and sustainable cooperation, meaning individualized, long-term collaborations involving multiple educational actors or teams (e.g., teaching teams).

Are you planning an in-company training or continuing education initiative and are looking for objective, scientifically grounded, and practice-oriented consultancy or support?

Are you currently undergoing organizational restructuring or piloting new approaches to human resource development?

Would you like to identify areas in which your training and professional development activities could be further improved?
