As part of the scientific support for the Startchancen program, the Transfer and Transformation Hubs located at RPTU in Landau and Dipf Berlin & Frankfurt play a central role as bridging institutions. 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:
- Support and advice for the federal states at steering level (together with the Governance Center)
- Monitoring and strategic support for the network management of the federal states
- Promotion of evidence-based networking in the federal states
Qualification & professionalization:
- Development of practice-oriented qualification programs
- Focus on research-based further training for network managers
- Strengthening a culture of continuous school and lesson development
Systemic networking & promoting coherence:
- 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 during the implementation of the Startchancen program
How the hubs work:
Evidence-based development cycle
Cooperation with the federal states 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.
Goals of the hubs:
Our work aims to ...
- to develop evidence-based concepts for network-supported school and teaching development
- provide professionalization impulses for state actors
- accompany country-specific implementation strategies
- strengthen coherence in program implementation in the federal states
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.
