Adina Durrwald

For more than 10 years I've been teaching at primary and secondary schools. I specialize in student-centered and self-organized learning methods, the use of digital media in the classroom as well as brain-friendly teaching and learning. I worked in Argentina for eight years, five of which as German Language Coordinator in the primary-school department. During this time I was a member of the administration staff and acquired knowledge in Educational Quality Management (German: PQM) and the Peer Review Process for the Federal-State School Inspection (BLI). Apart from my work in formal education I have extended experience as a ballroom dancer, competitor and teacher. I have taught various courses for children, adolescents and adults and still volunteer as a dance teacher. My lay interest in the neurosciences is partly due to my years as a student assistant at Bayer Schering Pharmaceuticals.
