For each subject there is a curriculum, on which the subject instruction in each grade is based. The DBSAA has drawn up a “Methods Curriculum”, which includes concrete methods – which are practiced on two method days – and social methods / learning methods for each grade level.
In our changed globalized world, it is no longer just aboufactual knowledge, but rather about key qualifications. The promotion of these key qualifications is one of the aims of the method training at the DBSAA.
The students of the DBSAA go through a curriculum of methods (see below), in which they learn skills that are not included in the curriculum of the individual subjects, but which facilitate their learning and enrich the teaching process. At the DBSAA, a Method Day is held twice a year for all secondary school classes. On these days the students are trained in methods according to the method curriculum. The methods learnt are intensified in the subject lessons.
