The international symposium “How does change happen?” is concerned with the question of how school and teaching can and must develop in the light of new challenges. The background to these challenges is the great changes which have taken place in educational policy since the turn of the century. These changes are especially the social and demographic developments (e.g. the rise in the number of pupils with a migration background) in connection with the overriding reforms in the education and school systems triggered by the “PISA- shock” (e.g. the introduction of inclusion in schools and the phasing out of the multi-tiered school system). These changes are presenting school subject teaching with new challenges which cannot be solved by current teaching concepts which are often no longer appropriate.

The international symposium “How does change happen?” asks how new teaching and learning approaches can be designed and implemented which meet these challenges and how these new teaching approaches can be usefully integrated into the framework of school development.

In the first part, Design-Based Research (DBR) as a methodological approach will be introduced for the initial research into and design of the transition in teaching (Keynote Speaker: Paul Cobb, Vanderbilt University, Nashville/USA). With this approach towards research, teaching and learning concepts will be developed for concrete teaching scenarios. Examples of DBR-based research projects from national and international contexts, as well as the Bremen Creative Unit “Subject-related education processes in transformation” (for the teaching subjects of English, French, Art, Mathematics, Music and Spanish), will be presented and discussed. In the second part the question of how the development of teaching can be integrated into the framework of the development of schools will be focused on. For this purpose the research perspective of Educational Governance (Keynote Speaker: Herbert Altrichter, Johannes Kepler University Linz/Austria) will be discussed by means of linking the micro level of teaching with the meso and the macro levels of school development in individual schools as well as in the entire school system in the state of Bremen.
