Exchange for teachers (ZLST)
Central teacher consultation day (only for teachers at primary and secondary schools)
Teachers from primary and secondary schools in Offenbach come together three months after their children move to a secondary school for the Central Teacher Talk Day (ZLST). They then discuss the children's "arrival" at the new school and also look back on their time at primary school. This information is very valuable for the individual support of the children at the secondary school or for future transition counseling at the elementary school. The teachers meet in one place (centrally) in the afternoon. This reduces the number of appointments for the participating schools. This teacher exchange has been taking place in the city of Offenbach since 2015 (the idea was adopted from the city of Herne). The exchange is planned by the group that prepares the Central Parent Information Evenings (ZEIA).
The next Central Teacher Exchange Day will take place again in 2026.
Central parent information evenings (ZEIA)
For the first time since 2019, the school information evenings for parents on the transition from elementary school to secondary school are once again being held in groups in Offenbach. This means that not every elementary school holds an evening, but several elementary school together. A total of four of these "Central Parent Information Evenings" (ZEIA) are planned. Parents receive information about the educational pathways after year 4 and the transition process. They can then find out about Offenbach's secondary schools.
Parents receive the invitation via their elementary school.
