School presentation:

MOTIVATED - RESPECTFUL - COMPETENT

We at Gesamtschule Leverkusen Schlebusch (GLS) promote the development of students to individuals who approach their environment in a curious and responsible way, act functional competent and behave with respect towards others.
We value individual, social and cultural multiplicity as a starting point of collective learning processes.
We help disadvantaged/social deprived children and adolescents to overcome their personal, social or cultural barriers of learning so that all can develop their skills regardless of their origin.
Our shared values, which build the foundation of the school's social life and all educational and curricular activity, are summarized in the preamble (see above).

Teaching and educational priorities

The aims of teaching and education are the willingness and ability to lifelong learning and the strengthening of confidence in the forces of a self-responsible creation of life. This does not only include the exchange of knowledge and the acquisition of skills for the target-oriented practice of learning methods, of teamwork and control of the students’ actions and their own work processes. In our school, teaching and education form an entity.

At the GLS, the lessons are given as specialized teaching and as subject connecting, or rather integral learning area lessons. Further differentiations of the lessons organisation result in educational, with regard to contents and safety aspects. All school career decisions are prepared intensively by counselling of students and parents.

For school year 2012/2013 an integrative learning group ( IGL ), beginning in the fifth year , has been introduced at GLS. In this class students with different needs of advancement are taught. In school year 2013/2014 another IGL, beginning in the fifth year, will be established. In both study groups will be two teachers, working as a team. One of them will be a special trained teacher for students that need particular advancement. Both IGL receive the, from class 5 granted, personal resources to the end of class 10.

Students will ask as many of the following questions as time allows.

1. Jasmina (13): What does ISS stands for?
