Andreas Danner

From 2013 to 2025, I worked as a teacher at Fritz-Karsen-Schule in Berlin-Neukölln, teaching German, English, and Performing Arts. In addition to teaching, I took on various leadership, advisory, and development roles. As Head of the German Department, I coordinated school-internal processes, supported colleagues, and contributed to the professional and didactic development of teaching.

Another focus of my work was cultural education. As the cultural officer in the "Kulturagenten" program, I developed and coordinated projects at the intersection of school, art, and extracurricular cultural work. I collaborated with artists and cultural creators as well as external institutions and supported students in creative, literary, and performative endeavors. My qualification for Performing Arts in secondary levels I and II enabled me to integrate theater education, scenic writing, and creative project work soundly into school learning processes.

Furthermore, I intensively engaged with digital media and new forms of art and knowledge transfer. In workshops and teaching projects, I worked with Virtual Reality, digital art, narrative video games, interactive text formats, and artificial intelligence, among others. I combined creative design with a reflective and critical approach to digital media.

My other areas of activity included developing teaching concepts and materials, providing professional development for teachers, mentoring trainees, and advising on media literacy, cultural school development, and reading-writing support.

Since 2026, I have been teaching at Schule Innenstadt in Esslingen.

Establishment and maintenance of a network between schools, cultural creators, and cultural institutions for the development and implementation of projects in the field of aesthetic and cultural education. My tasks included identifying suitable cooperation partners, joint project conception, coordination of organizational and content-related frameworks, and project supervision from idea to execution. I combined pedagogical objectives with artistic working methods and created sustainable collaborations between school education and extracurricular cultural work.

Leadership of the German Department and steering of professional and school development processes. My tasks included coordinating the subject faculty, further developing curricular and didactic concepts, and supporting teaching and quality development processes.

A special focus was on the implementation of Deeper Learning approaches. I developed and accompanied learning formats that combine subject deepening, independent work, collaborative processes, and project-oriented learning. Additionally, I moderated coordination processes, supported colleagues in implementation, and translated pedagogical objectives into practical teaching concepts.
