The school closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic have had significant side effects, particularly on the psychological well-being of pupils. This situation poses great challenges for teachers in schools. At the same time, teacher education students have to be prepared for this situation by being trained to deal with difficult situations and pupils with symptoms of psychological disorders. Furthermore, they need to adequately address the increasing heterogeneity in terms of their pupils' learning standards. To meet these challenges, the teaching project "CaBire" was called into being. As part of this project, teacher education students first receive theoretical input to act as socio-psychological coaches for children. After the training phase, students offer support to pupils at schools. This practical phase is accompanied by coaching-supervision seminars led by psychology teachers at the university. Both the practical phase, as well as the accompanying seminars at the university can be credited to teacher education students' studies. Here we report a good-practice example and an evaluation of this teaching concept based on data of a mixed-method design. The results are promising and point towards a beneficial program for both teacher education students and pupils.
