  • You want to teach interdisciplinary together with a group of colleagues, focusing on working together with and through our environment.
  • You have the ability to create a good working climate with engagement, curiosity, and safety with both students and colleagues, and you will receive that back.
  • You have the ability to meet students' different needs by listening to students, discussing with colleagues, and shaping your teaching based on success factors for teaching, in dialogue with colleagues and based on students' interests and influence.
  • You are brave and want to develop and continue learning together with others.
  • You want to work in a team and contribute to the development of the operation based on the school's development work, your own experiences, and research.
