last week I was watching an assessment because
the trainee teachers had their first assessment of the second state exam.
For the past seven months they’ve attended school and civil service law. The lecture took part every second Wednesday from half past two till six o’ clock. They got to know the legal background of their future job.
For the exam they had to learn lots of clauses by heart. For example, they needed to know when pupils get a suspension from school or how teachers have to behave. They also learned about the duty of supervision and what happens when they breach this duty.
The assessment was an oral exam that lasted 20 minutes.
In the exam the trainee teachers got an example case and had to comment on it or they had to solve a problem which occurred in the case.
Finally, the first exam is over and the trainee teachers can concentrate on their projects at school they have to bring to completion.
