What are the SPS II?

SPS: The acronym stands for "School Practical Studies". These comprise the practical part of the teacher training program, here at the University of Kassel. The SPS I is a 5-week block internship during the lecture-free period, which is organized by the core studies. In preparation for this internship, a course is held during the semester.

SPS II (Practical school studies in the subject)

The SPS II are a semester-long internship. They are organized by the subject didactics of the respective subject. In consultation with the mentor assigned to you, you will observe weekly in class, develop your own teaching units and test them in your lessons. The internship is accompanied by a weekly seminar. As a rule, SPS II takes place between the 5th and 7th semesters of the program. To participate, you must have already completed your SPS I or be in the process of doing so at the time of registration.

Notes

  1. Register on time for SPS II via eCampus: "My functions > Exam administration > Register and deregister services > Registration SPS II Lehramt". The registration deadline usually expires during the previous semester (!).
  2. The practical semester (L1/L2) includes the SPS I and one of the SPS II, so that after successful completion of the practical semester you still have to complete one SPS II in one of your subjects.
  3. Parts of the practical school studies can be completed in other European countries. The International Office, which has numerous contacts, will assist you in finding an internship abroad. For more detailed information on requirements and specifics for an internship abroad, please contact Dr. Siedenbiedel as early as possible.
  4. You can withdraw from a registration for SPS II up to four weeks before the beginning of the semester without facing any consequences.
