Vacant job

Fornbackaskolan is a dual-parallel F-6 school with approximately 340 students and 80 staff members. We are a primary school and an adapted primary school, which also includes a department for students with mobility impairments. The school also has its own special education group and a municipal special education group. Fornbackaskolan is a multicultural school located in a residential area where most of our students live. 
At Fornbackaskolan, we work based on a language and knowledge-developing approach. Here, the importance of communication and interaction is central. Teachers use cooperative support structures to encourage students to communicate and actively use language. The focus is also on strengthening students' reading skills by systematically training decoding and language comprehension.  We actively work to increase students' vocabulary by introducing new words in meaningful contexts and providing students with opportunities to use the words in conversation exercises or their own produced texts.  

With the help of an accessible learning environment, we ensure that all students have a positive learning experience and the opportunity to reach their full potential.
In the classrooms, there is access to interactive boards and tablets. All tablets are equipped with the programs available in Skolon, the municipality's shared digital platform.
At Fornbackaskolan, we strive to maintain a good working environment in all learning environments and to ensure that all students feel seen. Through our democratic mission, we aim to promote a school climate where all children and students feel safe and respected. The school's atmosphere is perceived as calm and welcoming. The school's well-established traditions are part of the security that exists in the school.
We strive for our outdoor environment to be appealing. We believe in an active recess where students and staff have the opportunity to socialize in various forms, with playfulness and creativity at the center. We are involved in the well-being program, which is a program for activity and inclusion, where friendly and respectful well-being leaders in grades 3-6 create opportunities for increased activity during recess.
