Lernort Finkenau – Finkenau Learning Location
Stiftung Kindergärten Finkenau took part in the federal “Lernort Praxis” programme from 2013 to 2016. It was one of the 76 participating facilities/welfare organisations from 7 federal states in Germany to do so.
The aim of the federal programme was to increase the quality of education in day-care centres. Emphasis was also laid on enhancing the cooperation with the school learning environment. For this reason, a part-time position – for a so-called conduct mentor (referred to as “Praxismentor” in German) – was financed. The mentor’s tasks included developing steps to set up a code of conduct.
After the end of the federal programme, we decided to permanently implement the position of practice mentor at the provider. The position of Head of Practice Coordination has been at the organisation since 2016. Its task is to accompany and support our centres as qualified learning and training locations.
What does qualified guidance mean for us?
The Finkenau Kindergarten Foundation is an active training centre. All interns are supervised during their internship both by their supervisors and by the head of practical coordination. In addition, various workshops are offered for all interns. Internal training for qualified practical guidance is also part of our guidance concept. All supervisors complete this training programme, which consists of several modules.
