Primary Education: Training for elementary school teachers

Teachers who work at an elementary school teach children from first to sixth grade. Their tasks are varied: they prepare the learning material taking into account didactic aspects and in line with the curriculum, are responsible for imparting knowledge in various subjects and guide the children or the class towards independent learning. This means that the teachers in primary education show the children how to deal with information, how they can acquire knowledge themselves and which learning techniques are useful in each case. In addition to teaching, there are other activities: preparation and follow-up work, administrative tasks, meetings with parents, further training, etc. Elementary school teachers manage a class independently or as part of a whole team of teachers.

Teachers in primary education are confronted with a wide range of challenges. The four major trends such as pluralization, individualization, digitalization and connectivity do not stop at everyday school life - and are therefore also changing the primary teaching profession or presenting it with new tasks and requirements.

This requires special expertise on the part of teachers. Such expertise is taught in a primary education course. Participants in such training are strengthened for this dynamic field of activity.
