What is our task?

Challenges facing society are enormous. Education and Schools play a key role in dealing with them. Helping young people to shape the future responsibly shapes the work of teachers on a daily basis. Enable the bestpossible teacher education is of the utmost relevance. We at the Tübingen School of Education (TüSE) are committed to this every day.

Our goal is to continuously develop the quality of teacher training: we look for pragmatic solutions and also rely on approaches that are characterized by courage and a high level of innovation.   

How are we organized?

The Tübingen School of Education (TüSE) is a  cross-faculty academic institution for teacher education. 
Die TÜSE consists of members from 5 teacher training faculties in over 25 education subjects:

We are characterized by a high degree of networking. Networking and coherently integrating subject-specific sciences, subject-specific didactics  and educational sciences in teacher training  is essential for our work and characterizes our field of activity.

Our collaboration with schools in the region, teachers and students is characterized by a genuine interest in dialogue and trusting cooperation on an equal footing.

We consider a close exchange with representatives of the education administration to be essential for the continuous quality development of teacher training.

Our statutes  regulate the tasks - quality development and internationalization in teacher training, research and promotion of young talent as well as transfer and networking with educational practice - as well as the organizational and committee structure  of TüSE.
