The planning and methods book is aimed at students in vocational schools and academies who need to document their practical skills and knowledge in writing as part of their training to become educators. The aids described here are intended to support educational work in various institutions by, for example, facilitating the creation of written plans and documentation, exemplifying structured processes for guided educational offerings, informing about the significance of external conditions as hidden co-educators, and clarifying criteria for developing goals as well as possibilities for shaping the educator's role. For better understanding, the criteria for creating a plan are presented through three concrete planning examples. Additional titles in the series "Educate, Teach, and Accompany" can be found.
