In the discussion about educational standards and the school of the future, all-day schools are receiving renewed attention. The societal interest in schools offering all-day programs is growing. This proven handbook provides foundational knowledge about the historical development as well as the diverse educational approaches. Stefan Appel, the chairman of the All-Day School Association, shares insights from his extensive experience regarding all practical aspects of establishing and organizing all-day schools: standards, school quality, daily structure, teaching staff, and spatial conditions. Georg Rutz, as a "man of the first hour" - including his role in the Hessian Ministry of Education - was instrumental in the development of all-day schools. Anyone involved with or working in all-day schools will find this book to be a reliable source of information on all specific questions.
