Teacher in Textile Crafts Grades 4, 7, 9

Do you want to work in an international environment with a clear educational policy? We are looking for a qualified teacher in textile crafts for grades 4-6 for the upcoming school year. We are a school with grades 4-9, and all teachers here need to be comfortable teaching these age groups.

About you: As a person, you are flexible, a dedicated team player with a positive attitude towards your subject. You are creative and willing to go the extra mile for your students and colleagues. You possess the tools to create a good learning environment in the classroom where your clear leadership and teaching style are keys to your students' success. You can adapt your teaching to reach different students and can, in collaboration with our student health team and our special educators, work inclusively with students who have special needs. For us, ongoing, clear feedback to students and guardians is a must, and you see it as a natural part of your teaching. In this feedback, you provide information about both progress and areas for development and improvement. We are looking for you who are a certified teacher for grades 4-9 with qualifications in textile crafts and who want to teach students in an international work environment. You meet your students' needs, and as a mentor to 16 students, you strive for each student to reach their full potential, regardless of their background. You have a positive view of people, are a team player, and have the ability to create good relationships with students, colleagues, and guardians. The language of instruction in textile crafts is Swedish, but good knowledge of the English language is a prerequisite as many staff members are English-speaking.

About the job:

The job description includes, in addition to common teacher tasks such as planning, teaching, grading, and follow-up, also mentoring for students in one of the classes you teach. You need to be available for meetings with guardians, students, and colleagues and actively work to uphold IES's values and vision. With us, the focus is on learning and on a calm environment where the school's routines and rules are followed by both students and staff. A pleasant atmosphere and a good collaborative climate are key words behind our success. This is also the foundation for creating a red thread that guides and supports our students through their schooling and helps them achieve their goals. Textile crafts are taught in small classes in a fully equipped craft room for the subject.
