The Teacher Training College in Kassel is closely affiliated with Alanus University of Arts and Social Sciences in Alfter/Bonn. It coordinates both courses and research in many fields of subject-specific methodology, in particular for German literature, history, biology, mathematics, physics, and social studies.
The profile of the teacher education programs in Kassel is reflected in the research projects of the college, which generally focus on subject-specific methodology. In addition to established approaches, focus is placed on the critical reflection of alternative educational concepts relevant to Waldorf education. This has resulted in a close collaboration with the Education Research Group within the Federation of Waldorf Schools.
The courses offered in Kassel are particularly suited for students who are preparing to teach in Waldorf middle and high schools. Courses can be attended either full or part-time for professional qualification as a Waldorf teacher. In addition, the College offers a wide range of refresher courses for in-service teachers.
