Many schools are looking for ways to manage heterogeneous learning groups and for practices that involve differentiation and individualization. Dieter Vaupel highlights the potential of working with weekly plans in this context. Weekly plan work does not prescribe a mandatory learning path but provides space for self-directed learning processes. The book is aimed at teachers who want to motivate and support students on their journey to becoming independent learners. Vaupel presents a concept in which weekly plans are purposefully used to systematically develop both subject-specific and cross-disciplinary competencies in students. The various weekly plan models are presented in a practical manner, taking into account a wide range of subjects.
