    Whole School Approach

    Colapsar todo Expandir todo

    • Welcome to our module "Whole School Approach".

      Children don't just learn about democracy in politics lessons - they experience it through participation in everyday life. For this to succeed, it takes more than good intentions: It requires a sustainable concept that permeates your entire school - from the playground to the classroom, from the educational conference to the parents' evening. The Whole School Approach (WSA) offers you precisely this framework.

      It is not about additional projects, but about a basic attitude: your school becomes a place where everyone - children, teachers, school management and parents - can get involved and be heard. Democracy thus becomes part of everyday life.

      The Whole School Approach therefore not only changes the children's everyday school life - it has an impact on everyone involved. 

    • Upon completion of this module, you will find out how - by shaping the school together - teachers, school management and parents experience how democratic processes work in practice:

      • how decisions are made
      • how compromises can be reached
      • how different options can be dealt with and
      • how responibility is taken on together

      so that democracy is not only taught, but lived and learnt - by everyone, for everyone. 

    • In Brief: 

      Democratic school development is not a goal to be achieved - but a path to be travelled together. 

      And: Teaching democracy is not enough! Because democracy is not a method - it is an attitude!

      The Whole School Approach helps you to follow this path systematically:

      It combines needs-orientation, genuine co-determination and competence building - and turns your school into a place where mistakes can be learnt from and where democracy is not just taught, but lived.
