Our Pedagogical system

 

Our Pedagogues

Our students have been taught and tutored in an all-day rhythmic system according to a two-teacher-system for more than a decade.

A “teacher team” consisting of a subject teacher and an educational assistant works with the children and youngsters from grades 5 through 9. The latter job is done by an “English language assistant” in German-English classes (bilingual).

PAs

  • are allocated to one class respectively as contact persons.
  • accompany children and youngsters in every-day school life and extracurricular activities.
  • always lend an ear to students’ scholastic and non-scholastic needs.
  • are reference persons for parents and teachers.
  • support students in becoming responsible, thoughtful and social individuals.
  • assist students to work, study, and do their homework independently in study hall.
  • contribute to the preparation and organization of classes and courses as agreed upon with the teacher.
  • encourage the holistic development of children and youngsters through their presence in core subjects, daily care during lunch recess, and organization of study hall.

The responsibility for class content, teaching methods, and grading rests with the subject teacher.

Head of all-day care: Brigitte Dufour

 

PULS / ClassTeam / FamilyTeam

Positive teaching and living situation (PULS) ("Positive teaching and living situation")

Without a relationship there is no education and without a bond there is no education. As an interface between school management, staff and students, the PULS school development team has been committed to a positive teaching and living situation since 2017.

Particularly in the rhythmic all-day school, children and young people are strongly influenced in their (personality) development by life at school. That is why our students are taught values ​​such as respect, responsibility and mindfulness in an intercultural school family. Promoting emotional intelligence is the core, as is a sustainable relationship between students, teachers, educators and parents.

We offer our parents, educators, teachers and employees how this can be achieved successfully: The "ClassTeam" seminar is aimed at employees and the "FamilyTeam" seminar is aimed at our parents, so that school and parents can pull together. Both must know the difference between words that demoralize and those that encourage; between words that trigger confrontation and those that encourage cooperation; between words that make it impossible for a child to think or concentrate and words that free the natural desire to learn. The credo is that everyone takes away from the seminars what is useful for them. Because every person is different.
