“There is nothing more unjust than the same treatment of the unequal.”

Paul F. Brandwein, 1994

In Hamburg the guideline “Promote rather than repeat” applies. If in one or more subjects there is a tilt for our students, we react early. For years now our school has offered a special learning support. Here we pursue a concept that is continuously developed.

We place particular emphasis on the quality of our support courses. Mostly our colleagues, as well as capable senior students, take over the courses or the implementation of the learning agreements made.

In addition, we ensure that the courses fit as well as possible into the timetable, so as not to burden the students unnecessarily.

In practice, our support concept is guided by the following guidelines:

  • small learning groups (4-8 students)
  • work on the competencies to be promoted individually
  • documentation of the learning agreements (also within the framework of learning development discussions)
  • promotion in two subjects possible
  • use of new media

 

Procedure of the support measures

In the report conferences, the eligibility for support for the coming semester is determined. Here, as Gymnasium Rahlstedt we attach great importance to pedagogical weighting (e.g., the possibility of obtaining eligibility for support, even with a grade of 4, or the decision whether to promote in several subjects). Here all competency deficits per subject are documented. These are then transmitted to the respective tutors so that individualized work on the competency deficits can take place. Further diagnostic procedures are used, for example, in the context of German language support/language learning counseling.

The parents of those eligible for support receive a letter and either consent to or decline support within the school framework. Subsequently, the students receive an appointment notice.

At the end of each semester, the teachers of your child review whether the imbalance has been corrected. If this has not yet been achieved, the support measure can be extended in coordination with you.
