Abschlusskonferenz des Projekts "Teaching Internationally" unter dem Titel "AI and Internationalisation in Teacher Education" an der Univertität Greifswald.

Vom 28. August bis zum 1. September 2023 trafen sich Vertreterinnen aller Partnerhochschulen des Projektes Teaching Internationally in Greifswald und diskutierten über die Chancen und Herausforderungen der Digitalisierung in der Lehrerinnenbildung. Es wurden verschiedene Methoden und Herangehensweisen vorgestellt, wie die Vorteile der Digitalisierung genutzt werden können, um Studierende auf ihren zukünftigen Lehrberuf vorzubereiten.

Speaker Series Part 3 - In recent times, both school and higher educational research has broadly focused on different social dimensions of heterogeneity and their impact on individuals, schools, and society. The speaker series "Exploring Heterogeneity in International Educational Contexts" works from the premise that heterogeneity in an educational context promotes a more diverse, equitable and inclusive society and hence, should be encouraged and celebrated. This series will explore the study of heterogeneity from a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches and will highlight different international educational institutions’ appreciation and commitment to creating vibrant and diverse global communities in which all students can thrive.

Stefan Fusenich's presentation examines the use of group work to manage the heterogeneous classroom. Within this session he will discuss how diverse students (for example, students that have learning disabilities and students who are gifted) can be included and not just integrated into the classroom though effective planning and scaffolding of group work, considering Marzano, Pickering and Pollocks research on effective learning in groups and more recent work by Werth on 'grouped to achieve'.

Stefan Fusenich is a teacher educator and DfE subject learning coach (advanced practitioner). Stefan has extensive management and teaching experience across various posts in education and is a qualified lecturer with Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills status. He previously worked with the Learning and Skills Improvement Service as a critical friend, and on capacity building projects with schools, training providers and colleges in the UK and abroad.
