Module 1:<br />

• Interpretation and determination of substantial basic mathematical skills<br />

• Reflection on one's own classroom instruction and teaching in relation to<br />

the basic mathematical skills<br />

• Joint planning of (in-service) teacher training (concerning both contents<br />

and structure)<br />

Module 2:<br />

• Basic mathematical skills as an integral part of one's own classroom<br />

instruction (impact on one's own teaching; task development and<br />

questions; competence-oriented test examples)<br />

• Evaluation of the conducted training seminars (collection of open<br />

questions; analysing concerns; consolidation of the results of training<br />

seminars)<br />

Module 3:<br />

• Reflecting one's own classroom instruction and teaching in relation to all<br />

the individual basic competences<br />

• Developing additional tasks and assignments<br />

• Developing processes for the conducted training seminars<br />

• Collecting ideas and proposals concerning topics to be provided in the<br />

course of the 4 th module<br />

In between the individual modules the participants work on individual and selfselected<br />

assignments in the domain of their own maths teaching and offer<br />

training courses held at their own schools or at partner schools. They form<br />

regional peer groups, which meet in the periods between modules, in order to<br />

work on and plan individual topics and to exchange views on certain issues.<br />

2.3 Characteristics of the Concept<br />

• Discussing the theoretical background knowledge of teachers and<br />

discussing different perspectives on teaching practice<br />

• Providing support and advice from external academic experts and<br />

practitioners<br />

• Offering training cycles, in which teachers can engage with their own<br />

learning and work context specific<br />

• Collaborating with peers within the large group as well as collaborating<br />

in peer groups, perusing joint objectives<br />

• Collecting different learning needs<br />

• Duration (2 years), learning how to distinguish between subjective<br />

assumptions/theories & existing practice and desired practice in order to<br />

change practice<br />

• Commitment to participate in all modules<br />
