Procedure details

Pupils with a non-German mother tongue who have immigrated to Germany and have little or no knowledge of German initially attend a German class - as far as this is organizationally possible. German classes provide intensive language support, values education and cultural education. The aim is to prepare pupils in such a way that they can then follow lessons in a regular class in the year group in which school-age children of the same age are placed.

Teaching in German classes for the school types in question comprises several hours per week of "language and learning practice", which are shown in the timetables for the individual year groups of the German classes (see Annex 2 to Section 9 GrSO and Annex 2 to Section 11 MSO). "Language and learning practice" includes flexible language and learning support and other cultural education activities. In the area of "language and learning practice", the acquired skills are practiced, deepened and applied in concrete situations. To achieve this goal, employees are hired in addition to the teaching staff deployed or cooperation agreements are concluded with external partners who provide their qualified staff for this purpose.

Within the framework of the budget funds made available, schools can apply to the district governments to employ people for "language and learning practice" in German classes and to conclude cooperation agreements with external partners.

  • For the conclusion of a cooperation agreement (for forms, see "Forms"):
    • Language/learning practice German classes - 2 original copies of the cooperation agreement
    • Language/learning practice German classes - Data sheet in duplicate (original)
    • Language/learning practice in German classes - original of 2 copies of the service description
    • Language/learning practice German classes - Test note in original in duplicate
  • For the conclusion of an individual TV-L contract (if forms are provided, you will find them under "Forms"):
    • Application for the conclusion of an employment contract
    • Notification of commencement of employment
    • Copy of identity card
    • Extended certificate of good conduct for submission to authorities in accordance with § 30a of the Federal Central Register Act (document type OE; required for all persons to be employed at schools)
    • Certificates of completed professional training (required to determine the applicable pay group)
    • Proof (job references) of previous relevant employment with other employers (relevant professional experience has an impact on the level assignment in the applicable pay group)
    • Copy of social security card (employees are obliged to present this at the start of employment in accordance with Section 18h (2) of the Fourth Book of the German Social Code)
    • Severely disabled person's ID card, if applicable (if the severely disabled person's ID card is presented, the vacation entitlement changes, among other things)
    • Residence and work permit, if applicable (required for non-EU citizens)
    • Declaration by the employee - personal details (in duplicate)
    • Declaration by the employee (on previous convictions, etc.)
    • If applicable, application by employees covered by collective agreements (employment contract) for tax exemption of income from secondary employment in accordance with § 3 No. 26 EStG (Income Tax Act)
    • Agreement on the fixed-term nature of the employment relationship (must be concluded before the start of employment!)
    • Approval of the local staff council before the start of employment

The schools submit the recruitment documents to the government via the responsible state education authority. Before applying for employment or a cooperation agreement, an application for approval of hours for language and learning practice must be submitted to the government via the state education authority. The government draws up the employment contract or cooperation agreement and arranges the payment of remuneration.

The application documents should be submitted to the government in good time before the intended start of employment so that the contract can be drawn up and the remuneration paid or the personnel costs reimbursed in the case of cooperation agreements in good time.

Upon submission of complete recruitment documents, contracts will be drawn up as quickly as possible.

Staff employed in the "Language and Learning Practice" can only commence work after the hours have been approved and, in the case of individual employment contracts, only after an extended certificate of good conduct has been submitted and a fixed-term agreement has been signed.
