The German School Award
In 2006, the Robert Bosch Stiftung and the Heidehof Stiftung launched the German School Award (Der Deutsche Schulpreis). In cooperation with the German weekly Stern and the public broadcasting network ARD, this 100,000 Euro prize honors outstanding pedagogic work and provides an important incentive for further development of schools and teaching in Germany.
The program consists of a competition in which a school is awarded the German School Award every year. The winning school is selected by an expert jury in a selection process involving several stages. In assessing the schools, the jury focuses on the six quality criteria of the German School Award: academic achievement, approach to diversity, quality of instruction, responsibility, school culture and school development.
The competition is the first step towards participation in an academy for school development aimed at disseminating good educational practices.
