Schulrecht goes microlearning - Lernen in kleinen Lerneinheiten und kurzen Schritten, zeit- und ortsunabhängig, nach Belieben auf Smartphone und Tablet oder am PC: zielgerichtet und dem individuellen Lernfortschritt angepasst. Die microlearning-App "Schulrecht" will insbesondere Schulleiterinnen und Schulleitern, aber auch allen anderen, die in der Schule arbeiten oder sich für das Thema interessieren, fundierte Informationen geben und verwendet eine Sprache, die die App auch ohne juristische Fachkenntnisse gut lesbar und verstehbar macht. Ausgehend von einer Einführung in das Schulrecht werden Themen wie Aufsichtspflicht und Haftung, Leistungsfeststellung und Leistungsbeurteilung, Erziehungsmaßnahmen, Schulveranstaltungen und schulbezogene Veranstaltungen, Rechte und Pflichten der Schulpartner, Schulpflicht, Sonderpädagogischer Förderbedarf, Fernbleiben von der Schule, Organisation des Schulwesens, Schulverwaltung, Schulzeit und Ferien, Privatschulen, Unterrichtsarbeit, Häuslicher Unterricht, Sommerschule, Widerspruchs- und Beschwerdemöglichkeiten, Religion und Ethik, Neue und semestrierte Oberstufe (NOST/SOST), abschließende Prüfungen, Urheberrecht, Datenschutzrecht sowie Gesundheit in der Schule behandelt. Der Bogen reicht daher vom Schuleintritt bis zum Verlassen der Schule nach Beendigung der Schulpflicht bzw. Ablegung einer abschließenden Prüfung (z.B. Reife- und Diplomprüfung). Häufig auftretende bzw. für den schulischen Alltag wesentliche Rechtsfragen werden anhand von Erklärvideos (auch in Form von Interviews), Podcasts, Texten und Beilagen (Rundschreiben, Erlässe) sowie Lernkarten mit ausgewählten schulrechtlichen Fällen aus der Praxis erläutert.

Verdict

The call
