Monika has been an educator in international schools for over 30 years. She has taught IBDP German B SL und HL for over 25 years and also German AbInitio at times. She has also taught English B for about 10 years and IBMYP German B for about 20 years. She holds a Masters Degree in English and Spanish from Salzburg University, Austria and a Masters Degree in German from Bowling Green State University, Ohio. Monika loves sharing ideas with other IBDP German B teachers and in 2004 she has therefore founded a workshop series only meant for this purpose which is called the “Wiener Dialog” (Vienna Dialogue). Monika has retired from teaching in August 2022, yet she is still an avid and enthusiastic reader who believes in lifelong learning. Her passion for teaching and her love for sharing her expertise and wealth of ideas is still keeping her going and is the motivation for her to carry on with running workshops for teachers new to the IB Diploma Programme as well as for experienced teachers.
