Teacher Education at FAU

FAU is one of the largest locations for teacher education in Bavaria and offers a wide range of subject combinations and teaching degree programs for primary schools, middle schools, secondary modern schools, high schools and vocational schools. The teaching degree program at FAU includes different curricular elements: subject-related studies, subject-related didactics, educational science, internships, a free area (in which students can choose teaching-related courses), and admission thesis. The FAU Center for Teacher Education (ZfL) serves as the central institution for information and advising on teacher education at FAU.

 

Internationalization of Teacher Education (“FAU Teacher Education International”)

“FAU Teacher Education International” is an FAU project funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) with funds from the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) with the goal of internationalizing teacher education at FAU. For this purpose, a complex internationalization strategy with various internationalization elements (mobilities, internationalization of the curriculum, internationalization at home, virtual mobility, promotion of the international profile of teacher educators) has been established in diverse areas of impact. The target groups of the measures are students and teachers in the teaching degree programs at FAU, as well as international students and teachers in the teaching degree programs at the partner universities and teachers in continuous professional development courses at FAU. A detailed description of the project and the project measures can be found here.

The project manager of “FAU Teacher Education International” is Prof. Dr. Anatoli Rakhkochkine.
