We also have a broad international network and exchanges with other countries.

The role involves developing the learning environments at the school. Through consultations, observations, and guidance, you will support educators in their work to create accessible and inclusive teaching.

You will plan and implement professional development initiatives for educators and provide support to the principal in the change process.

The work is characterized by and based on collaboration within our student health team consisting of the principal, school counselor, school nurse, and school psychologist, both program-specific and school-wide. Furthermore, it is equally natural for us to have close collaboration with teachers, which is why you will also participate and work in the program's working teams.
