Institute for Educational Governance

The team of the Institute for Educational Governance conceives, organizes and evaluates the teaching of Initial Teacher Education and Continuous Professional Development for applied systems sciences with a focus on the educational system of educators of all school types and all ages. It counsels schools, school teams, other educational institutions, thematically relevant education networks and education regions on quality development. Finally, it qualifies and professionalises educators for leadership tasks in the education sector.
The team's school development advisors, who are qualified in systems sciences, analyze the interrelationships within the complex system of education with the aim of explaining its behaviour and being able to influence its development. The team of the Institute manages projects to accompany the development of the General and Vocational Education quality and carries out subject-specific research and development. The Competence Centres for educational standards and for school internal Continuous Professional Development are located here. The Institute for Educational Governance works in all its tasks throughout the entire University College of Teacher Education Styria.
