On December 14, 2017, the Steering Committee conducted an all-day meeting and invited a large number of guest participants: students, parents, members of the Board of Directors, faculty members and staff from the Business Office.

In the morning, after a short presentation by the Communications Director Beate Mahious and a vote on the new Steering Committee logo (see left), the following areas of the Steering Committee鈥檚 duties were discussed in small groups:

At noon, two presentations were held. The first was by Marlen Ascensio, coordinator of Knowledge Management at the Elementary School, who gave us very interesting insights into the excellent organization of essential Elementary School documents on the GISW One-Drive. The entire Elementary School faculty has access to folders with relevant documents sorted by topics, i.e. planning, advertising, and executing the lantern walk.

The second presentation was by Andrea Meuschke, coordinator of transition management, who explained her special focus on the orientation of new teachers that are sent to our school from the 麻豆区 government, the so-called Auslandsschul-Lehrkraft (ADLK). Ms. Meuschke supports these new teachers and helps them get settled in the U.S. and at our school.
