Dr. Birgit Heppt starts today at the IFS and takes over the professorship "Empirical Educational Research in Primary and Secondary Education".

We are delighted to officially welcome Professor Birgit Heppt to the Center for Research on Education and School Development today. At the IFS, she and her working group are conducting research as part of the professorship "Empirical Educational Research in Primary and Secondary Education", focusing on assessment, promotion and development of (academic) language proficiency in monolingual and multilingual learners, implementation and evaluation of language support programs, professionalization of teachers and educators in the context of linguistic and migration-related heterogeneity and the assessment and effectiveness of teaching processes. Ms. Heppt moved to Dortmund from the Institute for Educational Quality Improvement (IQB) at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Since October 2022, she has been project manager in the BMBF-funded project "Multi-professional cooperation and professionalization for subject-related language education in all-day schooling" (KoPaS).

We warmly welcome Birgit Heppt to the IFS and look forward to a successful collaboration!
