Abstract

The talk starts with a short description of the system of teacher education in Germany as well as with an overview on the German school system. Presently the author is running a project entitled "Mathematik Anders Machen" which translates to "Mathematics Done Differently" to spread and to broaden existing local or regional professional development programs. This massive project is sponsored by the Deutsche Telekom Foundation (T-Mobile) in collaboration with the German Mathematicians' Association (DMV). In describing the theoretical framework of the program the author will refer to recent international research results in the area of professional development.
