They know how, when and why to implement progress and achievement tests. They are able to create a variety of assessments which are based on learning goals and activities implemented in class. Competence 8: Meta-level
Students are able to base their teaching on theoretical background and link practical teaching experiences to theoretical concepts. They continually adapt their teaching concepts to different contexts and develop their reflective capacity.
