In Belgium and Luxemburg, there is no specific teachertraining to teach pupils with special needs in the regular schools and in the special schools: much of the work is done by "learning in the job" or by further education. This way of proceeding is often stressfull and exhausting, especially for young teachers beginning their carrier. In Germany, teachertraining for regular schools differs a lot from the training for special schools. So, a new form had to be found for young teachers with a bachelor grade and working either in special schools or in settings of integration for pupils with special needs in regular schools. After their bachelor grade, they get the possibility to enroll for a certificate of advanced studies (15 credit points) providing them the basics of special education. During this CAS, the participants will acquire new skills and knowledge based on the vocabulary of the international classification of functioning disability and health (ICF), a concept wellknown in special education in different countries of Europe. Moreover, the participants will benifite from the experiences in Germany where the regular schools and special schools are already collaborating strongly but where the teachertraining for both types of school ist quite different than in Luxemburg and Belgium.
