Responsibilities

In your role as special educator/special pedagogue, you work closely together with the teachers and after-school staff in grades F and 1. You have a real insight into the importance of play for language learning and can inspire your teaching colleagues to teach using play as a method. You work towards the goal that all students achieve the knowledge goals and develop as individuals, and that the students feel that the school provides a sense of coherence. You naturally work with special measures for students regarding both extra adaptations and special support. You belong to a special group at the school consisting of 3 special educators and an overarching special pedagogue who leads your work.

The responsibilities include planning together with the teachers and teaching students in class and possibly individually, as well as providing support and advice to the teachers and work team regarding adaptations within the class framework. You support colleagues and the work team in the work of conducting high-quality pedagogical investigations and action plans. We view the student from a holistic perspective where social competencies and good health are important parts that complement knowledge acquisition. We create a good learning climate by building on the students' inherent resources and strengthening their self-image. All students are responsible for and have influence over their own learning development, the class's work, and the school as a whole.
