Curative education - The somewhat different form of teaching

Are you a teacher and would like to enter the field of special education? Then you can complete further training as a curative education teacher. Further training is usually at Master's level.

 

Curative education teaches, supports and encourages children who have special educational needs and is sometimes also dedicated to children with intellectual disabilities. Among other things, children who are difficult to educate, have behavioral disorders or learning difficulties are often taught in special or small classes.

 

This form of teaching, which is also designed in a playful way, enables the children to grasp certain principles better. For example, learning often takes place through experience and with concrete objects. This requires a great deal of empathy, good observation skills, flexibility and certainly patience on the part of curative teachers. The training usually lasts two years, or three years if you work part-time.

 

You can find more information about further training to become a remedial teacher at www.ausbildung-weiterbildung.ch. There you can order non-binding documents from the individual schools.

Questions and answers

Professional experience in special needs education is not required for lateral entry into the degree program. This only needs to have taken place upon entry to the Master's degree program.

In addition to your two years of professional experience in a related field (speech therapy, psychomotor therapy, social pedagogy, occupational therapy, educational science, special education, psychology), prospective students of the curative education course without a teaching diploma can take part in a study program "Quereinstieg Heilpädagogik (HQ)", which provides them with the necessary prior knowledge to take part in the Master's course. A distinction is made between lateral entrants with more than two years of regular school experience and those with less than two years of regular school experience. Both variants of the HQ course extend over an additional two semesters, i.e. one year.

With a Master's degree in Special Education, graduates are qualified to work in integrated special education in mainstream classes as an IS teacher, as an IF teacher for integrative support in mainstream classes, as a teacher in small classes, as well as in special education schools and centers.

Prospective special education teachers are recommended to work a maximum of 50 percent of their time during the Master's degree course in special education in order to have sufficient time for the course, which includes both classroom teaching and e-learning, self-study as well as preparation and follow-up time.

The Master's degree program in Special Education provides sound knowledge in intervention, diagnostics, prevention and cooperation and focuses on five main areas of study: Individual diagnostics and systemic analysis, support and teaching, counseling and reflection, information and communication as well as cooperation and coordination.
