• Lead and conduct physical education classes and help drive the subject forward.
• Plan and organize the school's swimming instruction and be responsible for planning outdoor days in close collaboration with colleagues.

• Collaborate closely with other teachers in the faculty and maintain active contact with guardians.

You will work closely with other teachers to collaborate on students' individual needs and development.

You will be part of a work team as well as a subject team. In the subject team, all teachers responsible for practical aesthetic subjects meet. There is also a subject network where physical education teachers from several schools meet to collaborate. If necessary, a mentor will be appointed at the school to initially support you in your work.

As a teacher, you view the entire school day of the student as important, and therefore you collaborate with both guardians and colleagues regarding the student. As part of this, the school's and after-school care's activities also collaborate to achieve higher goal fulfillment and create the best conditions for each student. You start from the student group you meet and are expected to create varied and challenging teaching. Using digital tools is a natural part of your teaching.

You promote collegial learning through discussion and reflection at both planned and spontaneous occasions. To benefit students' learning, as well as your own and the development of the organization, you take advantage of the experiences and knowledge of various professions.
