AG1: Responding to Diversity

Group leaders: David Crabtree, Lilo Bohnsack, Otfried Börner

Einführung

Das zentrale Thema der Arbeitsgruppe 1  beinhaltet die Auseinandersetzung mit der für den Unter­richt notwendigen Aufgabe des responding to diversity. Im Anschluss an seinen Plenarvortrag prä­sen­tierte David Crabtree in der Arbeitsgruppe dazu weiterführend als übergreifende Aussage drei Thesen, die für das Tagungsthema „Orientierung an den Lernenden“ von entscheidender Bedeutung sind:

  • Teaching includes all children’s ways of learning.
  • Put the learner in charge of their own learning.
