Im Moore 11
The Leibniz School of Education (LSE) will celebrate its tenth anniversary in 2026. Founded with the aim of promoting academic and practice-oriented teacher education at Leibniz University Hannover (LUH), the LSE brings together stakeholders in this field and implements innovative approaches to the training of future teachers. A key priority is to prepare students optimally for the demands of everyday school life, to strengthen academic networks for teacher education, and to offer qualified teachers research-based professional development opportunities.
The LSE plays a central role in teacher education at LUH and is synonymous with research-oriented teacher education.
As an academic institution on a par with the faculties within the field of teacher education, we operate strategically across the university’s core tasks: research, teaching, knowledge transfer and internationalisation.
Teacher education at LUH spans six of the nine faculties. Consequently, all institutes involved in teacher education – with their more than 40 professorships focusing on educational science and subject-specific didactics – are integrated into the LSE. The approximately 5,000 teacher education students form the largest student group at LUH.
LSE Anniversary Ceremony
To mark this anniversary, a ceremony for invited guests will take place on 30 September 2026 at the LSE premises (Im Moore 11).
Celebrating and shaping the future together – The Leibniz School of Education (LSE) at Leibniz University Hannover looks back on a decade of successful work. To mark our tenth anniversary, we cordially invite you to our anniversary event on 30 September 2026. This special ceremony will focus on the role and future prospects of institutionalised teacher education.
Teacher education is currently under considerable pressure to reform; hardly any other area of the education system is the subject of such intense debate and critical scrutiny. Policy-makers and academics face challenges that demand comprehensive adjustments and transformations. Numerous statements from a wide range of institutions offer recommendations on how teacher education can be further developed in light of the future demands of the school system.
We wish to address these developments and take an analytically grounded and forward-looking view of teacher education. In doing so, we will examine both the structural constraints faced by higher education institutions – caused by the German federal and state governments and internal university dynamics – and the cross-cutting structure between faculties, subject-specific didactics and Educational Sciences.
