The academy serves to promote an understanding of democracy and the teaching of inclusive values and norms to children and young people in schools.
The implementation of cooperative learning requires appropriate planning, teacher training and consideration of pupils' individual needs. In a large-scale recent interview study with teachers from different types of schools, teachers stated that they mainly needed more knowledge about cooperation, but also knowledge about diagnostics, didactic adaptation, subject-specific knowledge and knowledge about special educational needs. Knowledge about cooperative teaching-learning processes was mentioned most frequently in percentage terms (55%). Lesson examples, video recordings, joint activities and reflection sessions will be used to show how successful group lessons can be implemented, how status differences in heterogeneous classrooms can be addressed and how joint learning can be facilitated.
The Summer Academy is organised in cooperation with the University of Potsdam and Stanford University and is funded by Flexible Funds, Department IV (International Affairs).
Winter Academy (2022) | Universität Potsdam
The Winter Academy was the first time that professionalisation measures on cooperative teaching and learning processes in heterogeneous classrooms took place at the University of Potsdam in collaboration with Stanford Teacher Education. Complex co-operative tasks are used to promote interaction between the children, consolidate what they have learnt through respectful exchange and improve social-emotional skills. The pedagogical approach, which emerged from over 50 years of research at the Stanford School of Education, helps to reduce access barriers to education, promote excellent performance and foster a democratic classroom climate.

Standards for tolerant cooperation, group-worthy tasks and how to proceed in a noisy environment are developed in short inputs, group reflections and video analyses in small groups. The Winter Academy served to train teachers and facilitate dialogue between practitioners, enabling participants to get to know cooperative teaching and learning methods better and to test them for use in their own lessons. It was supported by the Centre for Teacher Training and Educational Research (ZeLB) and took place in the Science Floor under the direction of Dr Daniela Niesta Kayser (https://www.wis-potsdam.de/de/wis-wissenschaftsetage-im-bildungsforum). The event was sponsored by the KoUP initiative of the Vice President for International Affairs and Fundraising at the University of Potsdam.
The Winter Academy was organised in cooperation with the University of Hamburg and Stanford University and was sponsored by Ko-UP Initiative, Vice President for International Affairs.
