Abstract
AbstractAlthough school development can be viewed as an emerging responsibility of teachers, special needs education in Germany does not leave sufficient room for non‐teaching tasks, leading to a knowledge gap in the professionalisation of pre‐service teachers with regard to school development upon entering the profession. This study focused on the preparedness of pre‐service teachers in school development as a professional task at the end of their initial teacher training. The respondents of the interview study are 12 pre‐service teachers enrolled at master level in special educational needs at a German university. The findings of the study report on the marginal situatedness of school development in the curriculum, the associated understanding of pre‐service teachers of school development and their low assessment of the relevance of school development within special needs education. The study closes with practical recommendations on how to tackle the low level of preparedness for school development tasks in German teacher education.
