The Transfer and Transformation Hubs, located at RPTU in Landau and at the DIPF | Leibniz Institute for Research and Information in Education, play a central role as bridging institutions in the scientific support of the Startchancen program. They act as regional offices of a joint structure.
The transfer and transformation hubs are part of the CHANCEN network and support the federal states in effectively transferring the Startchancen program into practice. The focus here is on translating scientific concepts from the CHANCEN network's competence centers into country-specific structures and requirements. The hubs support country stakeholders on several levels - in an advisory, qualifying and strategic capacity.
Tasks of the hubs
Advice & support:
- Supporting and advising the federal states at steering level (together with the Governance Center)
- Supporting and strategically assisting the network management of the federal states
- Promoting evidence-based networking in the federal states
Qualification & professionalization:
- Development of practice-oriented qualification offers
- Focus on research-based further training for network managers
- Strengthening a culture of continuous school and lesson development
Systemic networking & coherence promotion:
- Close cooperation with governance boards and ministries
- Targeted adaptation and integration of good practice examples
- Context-specific support & advice for stakeholders in the federal states in the implementation of the Startchancen program
How the hubs work
Evidence-based development cycle
Collaboration with country stakeholders should follow a systemic, evidence-based cycle that is geared towards the specific needs of the interdisciplinary networks in the SCP.
This cycle should enable a targeted, context-related transformation of impulses into school reality.
Aims of the hubs
Our work aims to ...
- to develop evidence-based concepts for network-supported school and lesson development
- to provide professionalization impulses for country stakeholders
- to support country-specific implementation strategies
- to strengthen coherence in programme implementation in the countries
The expertise of the hubs lies in the systematic inclusion of scientific evidence and country-specific adaptation while at the same time taking a holistic, broad view, which enables the integration and adaptation of good practice from other contexts.
Together with the country stakeholders, this enables a coherent implementation of the Startchancen program geared towards sustainable transfer.
