Vacant job

Description

Utbyskolan is a comprehensive school with a focus on a resource school model, admitting only students who require extensive and long-term special support. Our students follow the same curriculum and time schedule as other students in the comprehensive school. We are a grades 1–9 school with one class in grades 1-3, two classes in grades 4-6, and three classes in grades 7-9.

We focus on accessibility and inclusive learning environments from a health-promoting and preventive student health perspective. At the resource school, we work with smaller student groups and more staff. This gives us greater opportunities to make individual adjustments in teaching and the learning environment for students who need it most.

"The Forest in School" is part of our pedagogy, where students receive outdoor education connected to the right of public access, nature, the environment, and practical learning. We work on language development in all subjects and in all learning environments throughout the school day. We aim to contribute to a democratic community where all students are involved, an environment where students have great opportunities to develop and learn, and where differences are seen as an asset.

Job Responsibilities

You are responsible for planning, implementing, and following up on your teaching. The teacher position also includes a shared mentorship role for one of the classes in the resource school. The mentors and the class's resources have joint time allocated for planning and follow-up.

We have a work team for each stage, led by the school's team leader. You are part of a work team with teachers who have different subject competencies. Together with your subject and work team, you work jointly to strengthen the student's learning process and create the best possible learning environment. The school's student health team is part of the school's work team and supports issues related to the learning environment, teaching, attendance, and students' need for special support.

We place great emphasis on your desire to develop teaching, your ability to differentiate your teaching, and your ability to work with visual support. Therefore, competence development, collegial learning, and joint planning are a large part of our shared time. We believe in collaboration between teachers and other professions.
