Workshop “Success for All” with intensive exchange

Almost 30 interested scientists from the projects of the funding line and related institutions came  to the online workshop “Success for All - A role model for education in the immigration society (?)” with Prof. Nancy Madden from the Center for Research and Reform in Education at the School of Education at John Hopkins University on Monday, June 10, 2024 . Nancy Madden developed the “Success for All” school reform model together with Prof. Robert Slavin in the 1980s. Elementary and middle schools in the USA use the model primarily to support disadvantaged children. The Success for All Foundation is now working with this extremely successfully and has helped millions of children improve their skills. “Success for All” is one of the few school reform models in the world that was developed on an evidence-based basis in cooperation between science and practice and whose effectiveness is continuously monitored.

In the meta-workshop, Nancy Madden gave insights into the history and the most important features of the successful model. The participants were particularly interested in exchanging ideas about the possibilities of transferring the model to other education systems, especially in Germany.
