biography

After graduating from high school in 1960 in Simmern / Hunsrück , Annemarie von der Groeben studied German , Romance studies and philosophy . From 1967 she taught at high schools in Hamburg. In 1976 she switched to the Bielefeld Laboratory School founded by Hartmut von Hentig , where she was didactic director from 1989 until her retirement in 2006. Then she and others founded the association TABULA eV, with whose support she started the project “Take All Children With You” and keeps it alive to this day. Annemarie von der Groeben was a member of the editorial team of the magazine Pädagogik for many years .

The University of Bielefeld awarded her an honorary doctorate in 1998 . In 2016, von der Groeben was awarded the Erwin-Schwarz Primary School Prize by the Primary School Association. In his laudation, Hans Brügelmann , subject specialist in the primary school association, praised Annemarie von der Groeben as the "head and heart" of the school association Blick über den Zaun , which unites 140 reform schools , for whose central ideas and pedagogical standards she was largely responsible. He admires her ability to “look under the surface of everyday observations, but also of scientific findings”, and the clear and sensitive language in which she expresses her ideas and experiences.

Activities and effects

In addition to her many years of work at the school, Annemarie von der Groeben has been involved in a variety of activities for reforming schools and teaching. It is “in the self-interest of our society to make this the top priority: that children and young people - and especially the socially disadvantaged - experience their school time as a meaningful and fulfilling life”. In terms of educational policy , as a secondary school teacher , she emphatically demands that the school, from early childhood learning through to graduation, be designed as a uniformly conceived common course of education, and that the “school for all” be extended beyond the fourth school year.

The theme of her life, how schools can deal productively with heterogeneity , is for von der Groeben not a mere methodological-technical question, but above all an educational and didactic challenge. For them, individualization means taking the child and adolescents seriously as an independent personality, enabling different learning paths and seeing and appreciating performance individually. With the Bielefeld association TABULA e. V. initiated the project "Take All Children With You" in 2009, in which she and her students and volunteers support children who are not adequately supported at home - through learning assistance with school tasks, but also through diverse educational experiences outside of class.

First for the Robert Bosch Foundation , later for the German School Academy and again for the school association Blick über den Zaun , she has been running the educational workshop "Individualization" for many years - together with Ingrid Kaiser , in which teams of teachers from different schools have two Working on the development of your teaching for years in a mutual exchange of ideas and experiences. Her credo: schools can only be reformed from below.
