Cooperative job shadowing
The cooperative job shadowing offers the possibility of feedback on one's own teaching behaviour by an outsider. Blind spots can be uncovered and ideas and inspirations for the further development of one's own teaching can be gained.
The cooperative job shadowing’s partners can be colleagues or employees of our Center. Within the framework of the certificate programme, the one-time completion of a cooperative job shadowing and its documentation in a report is a mandatory component and entered with 8 units.
