The Dresden University School, a unique nationwide project, is entering its sixth year with a tailwind. The interim assessment after a third of the 15-year school trial is very positive, also among the structural and evaluation commission of educational scientists. Professor Martin Heinrich from Bielefeld University in North Rhine-Westphalia is already calling for the school's experimental status to be terminated and for it to be made permanent.
Positive interim results after one third
Headteacher Maxi Heß and the project's scientific director, Anke Langner, also draw a positive interim balance. According to the TU professor, learning assessments have shown that the pupils' development in mathematics, reading and writing has not deviated. The school is not constantly practising, but instead focuses on project work and self-regulated learning. In times of teacher shortages, this approach is also "highly interesting" for other schools.
The students' first final exams were also a success - eight young people graduated from secondary school in June, two of them with an A average and distinction.
