Do you want to contribute to ensuring every student receives a good education? We are now looking for a language pedagogue with drive and commitment – in an exciting role where your contribution truly makes a difference. Welcome to us!

Your new job

Jönköping Municipality is currently running a unique initiative focused on language development in our preschools and primary schools. Working as a language pedagogue at one of the 15 primary schools that have been allocated language pedagogue positions is part of this initiative.

As a language pedagogue, you will work collaboratively to develop teaching in preschool class, grade 1, and after-school care, based on the school's needs and student results. You will start from a centrally developed assignment description and, together with the principal, draft your school-specific assignment. Your work will involve leading and supporting collegial development processes based on research and proven experience to increase the school unit's competence in language, reading, and writing development. You will also support students in preschool class and grade 1 at a group level in their language, reading, and writing development, working together with the teaching team. Based on a language plan developed by the municipality, you will ensure that teaching in preschool class and grade 1 is based on scientific grounds and proven experience.
