- What are the advantages/disadvantages of specialization in both Germany and the U.S.?
- Without areas of specialization what is a teacher cabable of??
- How do we decide what to specialize in?
- Are some subjects more important to specialize in than others?
- How do we accommodate for our lack of knowledge in areas we are not specialized in?
- Is there specific training for teachers in Germany to help teachers teach certain subjects

- Germany looks at specialization as taking classes to specifically teach in certain areas
- North Carolina, USA looks at specialization in terms of concentration and are extra classes taken in order to be a mini-expert on a subject. This is part of the initial lincensure/teaching certificate.
- These sorts of international projects can be helpful for all of our future students to engage in. These projects help with global awareness and respect of other cultures.
- To build our knowledge in the area we are not specialized in there are workshops,classes can be taken, talk to advisors for suggestions, gain knowledge through tutoring.
