Textile Arts Teacher at Domnarvet School in Borlänge

Domnarvet School is a comprehensive school (grades F-9) with approximately 620 students. We work with a future-oriented approach, focusing on collaboration within work teams and subject teams. The team concept is central, where every individual is part of a whole and stands together with colleagues to foster learning and development.

In the work team, there is a shared responsibility for the grade level and its students. In the subject team, there is collegial responsibility for developing the quality of teaching together with other subject colleagues. We have high qualifications and stable work and subject teams with years of experience, constantly finding new paths forward.

We have a flexible view of the timetable and the conditions for student learning, prioritizing student participation in their schoolwork with their own learning at the center. This means, among other things, that students are given the opportunity to plan their own prioritized work and learning for a couple of lessons per week, together with their mentor.

We are close to nature and have beautiful environments that can be advantageously used in teaching. We also work with a common, clear approach linked to lesson structure, our "basic stance," which contributes to predictability, structure, security, and a conducive study environment.

The work environment is characterized by shared responsibility, warmth, and joy, where relationships are central – towards students, colleagues, and management. We work together!

With shared knowledge and experiences, we create context, continuity, and progression in students' development and learning.
