School Development and Teacher Professionalization in Migration Contexts

📌 Funding: Internal Research Funding of Helmut Schmidt University Hamburg (IFF)
📌 Duration: 01.07.2021 – 30.06.2023

Project Overview

This research project explores the intersections between teacher professionalization and school development in migration contexts, both from a theoretical and empirical perspective. The goal is to systematically link school development, professionalization, and migration-related educational research, while analyzing key empirical correlations such as recontextualization, persistence, and transformation.

During the IFF funding phase, the project focuses on teacher negotiations in discrimination-sensitive teacher education. Teachers act as facilitators of school development, initiating and supporting discrimination-sensitive change processes within their schools.
