New teachers for Weiden: business school welcomes fresh talent!

New teachers for Weiden: business school welcomes fresh talent!

There is great joy in Weiden because the Gustl Lang Business School has welcomed three new trainees. Kevin Hetterich, Lukas Holzmann and Yannik Lacher are starting their careers in the field of economics. A new phase of life that brings with it some challenges, because the transition from university to school is anything but easy. Headmaster Eduard Bauer, deputy headmaster Klaus Binner and seminar teacher Andrea Ruhland-Birner warmly welcome the new colleagues and support them during their first steps into teaching. Her second subjects, which are integrated into lessons at the FOS/BOS in Weiden and at the BSZ in Wiesau, include mathematics, politics and society as well as IT.

The training of student teachers is part of an annual program at the school, which is dedicated to the first phase of training for teacher training for the vocational school system. At Bavarian universities, students of vocational or business education can acquire both a bachelor's and a master's degree. In this context, various disciplines are offered, ranging from agricultural economics to electrical and information technology to economics. This shows how diverse and important teacher training is in Bavaria in order to prepare future teachers for their role in society, as [Lehrer- Werden.bayern] explains.

Changes in teacher training

Bavaria recently launched a comprehensive initiative with regard to teacher training. As part of the “Bavaria Teacher Training Master Plan”, Education Minister Anna Stolz and Science Minister Markus Blume want to respond to the changing demands on teachers. Professor Dr. Martin Huber, chairman of the expert commission, presented recommendations for the further development of teacher training. The goals are ambitious: training should be made more practice-oriented, school internships should be further developed and inclusion should be given greater focus.

Stolz and Blume emphasize that excellently trained teachers are essential for the future, while at the same time the proven structure of training should be maintained. The commission, consisting of representatives of teachers' associations and universities, is clearly against fundamental structural reforms. Instead, the aim is to achieve a closer integration of studies, traineeships and further training. These developments not only offer new teachers like our trainee teachers in Weiden valuable perspectives, but also aim to ensure the quality of education throughout Bavaria, according to [km.bayern.de].

But it's not just schools that benefit from these changes. Successful teacher training ultimately benefits society as a whole, because well-trained teachers are the basis for a strong future. The path that Kevin, Lukas and Yannik have now taken is well thought out and supports both their personal development and their educational commitment in Bavaria.
