To those around her, it was crystal clear what career Julia Daube would eventually pursue. Even back in high school, her teachers predicted, \u201cYou\u2019ll be one of us someday.\u201d It turned out to be a good guess, as became clear shortly thereafter. Julia Daube studied to become an elementary school teacher, specializing in German, math, and art. <\/p>\n

Julia Daube calls the eastern part of the Marburg-Biedenkopf district home, and it was there\u2014in Erksdorf and Hatzbach\u2014that she found her job. Every detail showed that preparing girls and boys for life through their early years of schooling is exactly \u201cher thing.\u201d <\/p>\n

The mother of two daughters, ages 17 and 9, had felt at home among the students and faculty for years. Then she received a call from Steinm\u00fchle. <\/p>\n

Has already contributed to the curriculum<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks to her acquaintance with Principal Bj\u00f6rn Gemmer, she had already been in contact with the school on Steinm\u00fchlenweg during the founding phase of the Bilingual Elementary School. Julia Daube also helped develop the curriculum for the Bilingual Elementary School. Because Elementary School Principal Janine K\u00fcster was on maternity leave, her desk was vacant. Bj\u00f6rn Gemmer recognized this as an opportunity for both parties. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A Passionate Teacher<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I really thought long and hard when I was asked last summer if I wanted to be Janine\u2019s successor,” recalls Julia Daube. The perception that school leadership involves a lot of administrative work and little time for the classroom is widespread\u2014and as a passionate teacher, she didn\u2019t want to underestimate that. She has not regretted her decision to join Steinm\u00fchle: \u201cA friendly team, a great vice principal, lovely children\u2014and open doors all over campus whenever questions arise.\u201d <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Educational tasks remain the top priority”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Julia Daube is grateful for this atmosphere of openness and the culture of friendly interaction between teachers and students. Despite the administrative demands, she considers her teaching responsibilities to be her top priority. <\/p>\n

Julia Daube’s motto is not to take anything personally\u2014especially not what the students say. “Ever since a child once told me, ‘Your hair looks like a squirrel’s tail,’ I’ve started to let humor get the better of me every now and then.” <\/p>\n

In the demanding role of a elementary school teacher in a leadership position, this attitude is likely to be helpful on more than one occasion. Angela Heinemann<\/em><\/p>\n
