Dear list,
the director of the seminar in Neuss (near Cologne),
Wolf-Dieter,
introduces the tasks of teacher training at
http://www.studienseminar-neuss.nrw.de/Sek
undarstufe/Sekundarstufe.htm
This page is available in German, Dutch, English and Spanish
- but
French is missing. It would be grand if anybody of you
regards its
content worth a translation ;)
The English translation is at
http://www.studienseminar-neuss.nrw.d
e/Sekundarstufe/Informationen/SPen.htm
and reads like this:
"Teacher training in Northrhine-Westfalia comprises two
stages. The
first stage consists of an academic course of study of the
two subjects
eventually to be taught at school taking the type of school
(e.g.
primary or secondary school, professional college) into
account.
After taking their first state examination, as it is
called, students
enter the second stage in one of 86 Studienseminars
(approximately
comparable to teacher training colleges). Studienseminar
Neuss thus
might be the place where young teachers that have qualified
both for
the basic (grade 5 to 10) and the advanced (grade 11 to 13)
levels of
secondary schools would be trained for the job.
...
Teacher training in the second stage at the Studienseminar
is scheduled
for two years. In the end there is the Second State
Examination, in
which the candidates show their proficiency as teachers in
their
subjects and for the age and ability groups in which they
will have to
teach. Passing this examination is a prerequisite for
applying as a
fully qualified teacher."
Merci
Ralf
