  7. An American Teacher in Germany • Is there recognition of foreign teaching credentials in Germany? • Jein! • The Federal Republic of Germany is, as its full name indicates, a federation of states (Bundesländer), not wholly unlike the United States of America, when it comes to teacher certification. • At the university level, there are more opportunities and less red tape. PhD-holders are judged exclusively on the quality of their research, their reputation and the demand for their talents in high-demand fields. 7

  8. EFL Teaching Opportunities • Foreign Language Teaching Assistantships for recent college graduates (Fulbright, US State Department) • Private Language Schools (Wall Street Institute, Berlitz, etc.) 8

  9. International Schools • Every major city in Germany hosts at least one “international school” • Typically, this type of school is a private, independent, K-12, US-accredited school catering to a primarily expatriate clientele • A Master’s degree, K-12 certification from any US state and two years of experience will pre-qualify you to begin applying for jobs throughout Germany and all over the world (these qualifications are equivalent to German teaching qualifications) • www.iss.edu 9

  10. Department of Defense Schools • The DoD also operates dozens of schools in Germany, which are actively recruiting teachers from the US • DoD schools provide quality education for the children of military and eligible civilian personnel stationed around the world • Competitive salaries and great benefits available at schools in Germany and beyond • www.dodea.edu/offices/hr/onlineapplication/default.htm 10

  11. Teaching at German Public Schools • Having your credentials recognized in Germany will be a long and difficult process • Decide which Bundesland you’d like to work in and focus on that state’s requirements/process • Having your qualifications certified/recognized is no guarantee of employment 11

  12. Teaching at German Public Schools • There is a shortage of teachers in Germany: some estimate a shortage of 45,000 teachers for the 2010/2011 school year • In conjunction with the ongoing discussions about integration, the topic of recognizing immigrants’ qualifications is being discussed/debated at the state and national levels 12

  13. The Future is Bright • Currently only 49% of well-educated immigrants in Germany are working in a highly-qualified job, v.s. 70% of native-born Germans (http://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/print/d-74549658.html) • Studies have shown and state boards of education recognize both the advantages and dire shortage of immigrants as teachers in the classrooms

  14. Best Practice Example: TAP • The Teacher Acquisition Program (TAP) in NRW is a program to recruit native English speakers to English-language Immersion schools in NRW to teach EFL, as well as content classes in the subject areas of Biology, History and Geography. • Good German skills are required.

  15. TAP Guidelines • Who can apply? • Which degree is required? • How do I apply? • How much can I earn? • Answers to these questions and more: www.schulministerium.nrw.de/TAP/jspsrc/tap/daten/guideline.pdf • Again: the existence of such programs does not guarantee the availability of job openings 15

  16. Going Forward • To meet its current needs and to stay competitive, Germany needs to reform its teacher qualification recognition policies • Due to the decentralized state-based education system in Germany, this will take time • Innovative states and states where there is a need for highly-qualified English native-speaker teachers, whether as EFL teachers or content teachers in Immersion schools, will achieve the best results with special programs such as TAP 16
