Saxony has scooped twice at the German Teachers' Award. Jenny Krzyzaniak, Svetlana Thieme and Kati Klinzing from the Denis Diderot School in Leipzig received the first prize for "Exemplary School Management". They impressed the expert jury with their outstanding networking and cooperation as well as their enthusiasm for their school.
The secondary school's staff, who nominated the management team for the award, highlighted their caring and inspiring leadership style. "This team is not only the thinking brain, but also the feeling heart. With an open door, a clear view and genuine trust," wrote one teacher. The girls from Leipzig beat Roswitha Malewski from Kuppelnau Primary School in Ravensburg, Baden-Württemberg (second prize) and Carsten Arntz and Kathrin Wichmann from the Erzbischöfliches Berufskolleg in Cologne.
