Peer Review & Visit of Mr. Peter Wollenweber

Modern education, and consequently, a modern school, requires continuous development. Therefore, new teaching approaches should be developed, reviewed, and applied at regular intervals. Only in this way can a school ensure the highest quality of education.
In this context, it is essential to draw upon the experiences and expertise of individuals outside of our own school. Only in this manner can a comprehensive assessment of the overall development of our approaches be made possible.
The IGS team is particularly pleased, therefore, that over the past two weeks, we have had the opportunity to welcome several visitors to exchange ideas on the current state of the school’s development and mutually benefit from shared experiences.
Firstly, Peter Wollenweber, the official process facilitator from the Central Agency for German Schools abroad, shared his perspective on the development of IGS. The visit was marked by an extremely productive atmosphere of discussion and promising insights for the further development of our teaching. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Wollenweber for this!
In addition to this visit, we also had the privilege of hosting a team of colleagues from selected German schools in the region, referred to as a “Peer Team”. Through numerous classroom visits, interviews, and personal conversations, we received valuable feedback for the ongoing development of our current approaches. As a result, the entire IGS team gained extremely positive insights. At this juncture, we would like to extend our warmest thanks to Markus Brandtner from the Christian German School Chiang Mai, Pascale Mandel from the German International School Jakarta, and Dr. Markus Meyer from the German European School in Singapore.
At IGS, we are looking forward to continuing our work on school development!
