Thinking ahead in teacher training: ZLB and regional training team strengthen cooperation

Renewing and strengthening the existing cooperation - with this goal in mind, the ZLB met with representatives of the Arnsberg district government and the South Westphalia regional training team. The current occasion was the further development of state teacher training in NRW, in which universities are to play a more important role in the future. The ZLB had already concluded a cooperation agreement with the Siegen-Wittgenstein Teacher Training Competence Team in 2022, which laid the foundation for more in-depth cooperation in teacher training. Numerous events have taken place as part of this cooperation in recent years. In particular, the joint specialist days on current topics in teacher training, such as education in the digital world, have been very well received. This successful collaboration is now to be continued and expanded with the newly established regional training teams. The cooperation agreement is also to be rethought and expanded. All those involved emphasized that the close link between training and in-service training will continue to be a central building block for the joint further development of teacher training in the future. The cooperation between the ZLB, the Arnsberg district government and the South Westphalia regional training team provides an effective framework for this.
