Vacant job

Asken Independent School has been in operation since the autumn of 2000. From the autumn of 2016, the school expanded to become a grades 4–9 school with after-school care, having previously been a grades 6–9 school. The school has 326 students in grades 4–9 and is located in the beautiful natural surroundings of Sundby Park, right next to Lake Mälaren. Asken Independent School's profile is based on the portfolio method, which aims to continuously monitor students' knowledge development. Students are involved in the entire process, from planning to evaluation. Each student is or becomes an expert on their own learning and is the natural main character in student-led development conferences.

Do you want to be part of continuing to develop our intermediate school?

We are looking for someone who:

• wants to or has experience working with subject integration and active learning
• wants to work in a team where you, together with colleagues, plan and carry out teaching with the students
• is computer-literate and has the willingness/experience to use the computer as a tool in pedagogical work
• has a positive view of all students' ability to succeed
• has good knowledge of the school's governing documents and is meticulous in your documentation
• has great commitment and is proactive and initiative-taking
• has a strong ability to communicate with students and parents in a solution-focused manner

Education

You hold relevant education, subject competence, and/or experience. Great importance is placed on personal suitability and the willingness to work in active learning where the computer is used as a pedagogical tool. The subjects you will teach are primarily Swedish, Social Studies (SO), and Natural Sciences (NO). If you also have qualifications in additional subjects, that is a plus.

Since the school's organization means that grade 6 belongs to the lower secondary organization with subject-specific teachers, teachers applying for this position will teach in grades 4 and 5.

You will be part of a team where you together plan, carry out, and develop teaching. The students are in the forefront, and an important part of your role is to inspire, motivate, and support the students in their academic and social development. We use the portfolio method to give our students good tools to reach as far as possible in their development.
