Following the official approval of the bilingual elementary school program at Steinm\u00fchle for the 2019\u201320 school year, an information evening for interested parents was scheduled. Welcomed by principals Bernd Holly and Bj\u00f6rn Gemmer, parents attended the event at the Steinm\u00fchlenforum to learn about the organizational details of the planned elementary school program, so they could get a sense of how things would work and see how their own wishes and expectations aligned with the program. <\/p>\n

After an introduction to the school\u2019s focus areas and character by Principal Bj\u00f6rn Gemmer, former elementary school principal Sabine Rektorschek explained the planned flexible classroom model. The experienced educator had successfully led a primary school in the neighboring district of Gie\u00dfen based on this model and now works as a consultant. <\/p>\n

At the information evening, Sabine Rektorschek described the advantages of individualized learning and the distinctions between skill acquisition and learning objectives. The audience learned that assessment and progress monitoring are not just terms used in medicine, but can also apply in an educational context. \u201cAssessing children and their skills at the outset and tracking the acquisition of additional skills in stages throughout their school years are among the fundamental tools for a successful elementary school experience,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

Hannah Achenbach also introduced herself to the visitors; she will be returning from Leipzig to her hometown of Marburg to work as a teacher at the Steinm\u00fchle Bilingual Elementary School.<\/p>\n

Afterward, interested parents asked questions primarily about the possibility of a trilingual education in specific cases and about the enrollment of so-called \u201cchildren who are ready to start school.\u201d Jeannine Walter, the pentilingual department head at Steinm\u00fchle, and Principal Bernd Holly\u2014a father of two children who had not yet turned six when they started school\u2014provided expert answers on these topics. <\/p>\n

Among other things, it was announced toward the end of the event that the Steinm\u00fchle Bilingual Elementary School will facilitate transition into the Hessian and international school systems. It already has the necessary partner schools in place for this purpose. <\/p>\n

Parents who are considering enrolling their child at the Steinm\u00fchle Bilingual Elementary School can sign up for an admissions interview by email (bjoern.gemmer@steinmuehle.net<\/a>). The admission interviews will take place in February 2019. Key information about the Steinm\u00fchle Bilingual Elementary School is summarized in a brochure that attendees of the event were able to take home. The brochure is also available for download at the following link: http:\/\/gymnasium-steinmuehle.de\/download\/Bilinguale_Grundschule_Steinmuehle.pdf<\/a> <\/p>\n
