Team spirit and challenges: 17th OGS early year's academy in Herne
On Saturday, March 22, 2025, the 17th OGS-early academy took place at the Claudius School, in which around 70 employees and teachers of open all-day schools (OGS) from Herne and Bochum took part. The aim of this event was to deepen the specialist and method knowledge of the participants and to give new impulses for practice. In view of the upcoming challenges, such as the OGS right to law of 2026, the shortage of skilled workers and lack of space, the exchange among the participants was of particular importance. School office director Andrea Christoph-Martini emphasized the need for cooperation and team spirit. The motivation of those present was high, especially since they appeared on a free Saturday to expand their expertise.
based on the world-down syndrome day, which is due to the presence of Dr. Elke Jüngling was represented, the event also offered symbolic elements, such as wearing different socks. The academic tradition of the OGS-early academy has existed since 2008 and was launched by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia to create an ongoing range of education that is very popular. A pressure -free space was created to promote the exchange between the participants, while exciting workshops covered different topics.
diverse workshops for practice and theory
Among other things, workshops were offered that dealt with movement and memory exercises ('play and fun in motion'), figure construction techniques by South African puppet players and step training to better inform children. Another workshop dealt with sovereign appearance in difficult situations, while the positive psychology was emphasized as a ray of hope by the focus on joie de vivre and laughter. The lunch break was culinary by the pizzeria Enzo, while the final presentations took place in the school gym.This vocational training conference took place against the background of dark developments in the German education system. The shortage of skilled workers, which affects all areas of education, will continue to tighten in the coming years. Federal Institute for Population Research emphasizes that the pressure on remaining specialists increases and the quality Education offers. Especially in early education, the lack of educators and teachers leads to reduced care places and restricted opening times in daycare centers, which makes it difficult to reconcile family and gainful employment.
The German education system is often described as a "patchwork". Gew indicates that there are differences in all-day funding not only between federal states, but also within municipalities. This diversity is shown in the various types of carriers: from offers in responsibility for schools to mixed forms. The Institute for Work and Qualification of the University of Duisburg-Essen is currently examining the different models and their effects on the conditions of employment and everyday work in OGS and other institutions.
As part of this project, which runs until June 2025, special attention is also paid to the cooperation between youth welfare and schools. Doreen Siebernik von GEW is confident that the results of the analyzes will help to influence political decisions.
In summary, the OGS early year's academy shows how important further and further training measures are for the specialists in the education sector. They are crucial to address the upcoming challenges quickly and professionally, who benefit both the teachers and the children who look after them. This is particularly relevant in today's world, in which the demand for high -quality education continues to increase.| Details | |
