technical support and advisory approaches

The school psychological service works together with psychological school advisors, school psychologists and consulting teachers. The supportive services are aimed at numerous actors in the school context: pupils, legal guardians, teachers as well as school management, school supervision and school administration. These various actors receive help with pedagogical-psychological questions and challenges that can occur in the world school. The offer is open to all types of school and uses a wide range of methods for flexible use.

The organizational structure and the tasks of school psychological services are regulated in the school law. In addition to the consultation, the school psychology competence center also promotes quality assurance and development of these services. As zsl-bw.de , these aspects have a significant impact on increasing the effectiveness of school psychological services and performing their diverse tasks.

accessibility and journey to the service

In order to achieve the school psychological service, various travel options are available. Drivers can use the federal roads B 54, B 55 and B 256, while the A 4 (Cologne - Olpe) and A 45 (Dortmund - Frankfurt) motorways facilitate journey. Interested parties will find parking in the parking garage in the Gummersbach forum or in the “Alte Post” parking garage. In addition, the service can also be reached with the regional train RB 25, which runs from Cologne via Overath to Gummersbach. The footpath from the train station is only about three minutes and leads via a roundabout to Wilhelm-Heidbreder-Straße, where the service is on the left.

The offers and the new management under Marianne Haupt promise a positive further development of the school psychological service in the Oberberg district, which is tailored to the needs of the students and their environment.
