Outside class

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An outside class is a form of cooperation between special education centers and mainstream schools , which is intended to enable the inclusion of people with disabilities . As a rule, an outside class is a class of the special school in the building of a regular school. In Bavaria , following the amendment to the Bavarian Law on Education and Instruction, this form is referred to as a partner class. In Baden-WürttembergExternal classes are referred to as cooperative forms of organization. In Saxony-Anhalt and Hesse they are called cooperation classes. The Saxon School Act speaks of meeting disabled / non-disabled people. Saarland uses the designation cooperating special class in a regular school and Brandenburg speaks of support classes. Outside classes are often seen as the middle ground between sticking to special needs schools and total inclusion.

Conception

External classes are classes in a special school that is housed in the premises of a regular school. The proximity to a class of the mainstream school offers the possibility of teaching students with and without disabilities together by designing joint lessons . The students with disabilities remain students of the special school, the responsibility for the students with disabilities lies with the teachers of the special school. Depending on the personal commitment of all teachers, lessons take place more or less together. While in individual schools common lessons take place in almost all subjects, there are schools in which little or no common lessons take place, for example in the subjects of sport, music or religion.
