University Quality Improvement Funds for Teacher Education
The Leibniz School of Education has a budget of University Quality Improvement Funds, that are being specifically deployed for the noticeable improvement of teacher education students.
In addition to its own projects, the Leibniz School of Education also funds teacher education specific innovations of Institutes, Faculties and from students. Hereunder, you will primarily find projects with an subject and faculty interdisciplinary emphasis. This, for example, applies to the classic cross-cutting issues like Inclusion and Heterogeneity, German as a foreign language or (digital) media competencies. Initiatives for the improvement of the interlinking of subject science, subject teaching-methodology and education science here have a large potential for improvement for teacher education. In the event of a specific needs, projects who primarily improve one single subject can also be funded. The connection to teacher education is naturally still at the centre of this.
Funding through University Quality Improvement Funds is based on an application procedure.
The Academic Commission of the LSE reaches the award decision primarily on the basis of the following criteria:
- Is the project designed in an interdisciplinary and cross-faculty way and does it promote the sustainable improvement of quality in teacher education in general?
- Is the proposed project innovative and transferable to other degree programmes or subjects (the proposed project can also be subject-related)?
- Projects from mid-level faculty up to a volume of €6,000 are also funded if they are innovative, transferable to the professional practice of teachers or enable teaching-related learning experiences or have proven their worth (evidenced by student statements or evaluations) and can be transferred to other teaching situations/subjects/courses of study.
