Abstract:
Professional teachers do not teach, assess, analyze and educate all by themselves. They need to work together to get support and constantly reflect their doing in a professional community. This paper has a closer look at German teachers in Baden-Wuerttemberg and their cooperation. The comprehensive question to be answered is if teachers in different schools cooperate differently. The text shows how teachers actually work together on different levels. It is based on 1400 teachers’ questionnaires with quantitative data. Interestingly we will see that school type seems to matter but not the different university education these teachers have.
