RESPONSIBILITIES

The mission of the Resource Unit rests on both national and local steering documents and is part of the regular operations. In the Resource Unit, the student should develop and be given more individual conditions regarding knowledge, skills, and social interaction in accordance with the current goals in the steering documents. The goals are based on the school's knowledge mandate. The task is to initiate a change process in the student in close collaboration with the referring school and the family.

Sofieberg is a special teaching group for students with neuropsychiatric functional variations who are in great need of special support to best be able to benefit from the education. The unit receives students from Grade 1 to Grade 9, where students are divided into different work teams depending on age and needs. In the work team, teachers and teaching assistants work closely together and share responsibility for the students in the team. There are 5–8 students in the work team, and there is a high staff density to meet the students' needs.

The position includes teaching, documentation, evaluation, and follow-up of students' knowledge development, writing pedagogical investigations and action plans, as well as being a mentor for a number of students and maintaining contact with guardians. Part of the work also involves motivation and change work, supporting students to find the joy of learning. In the work at the Resource Unit, you follow the students throughout the entire school day, both during lessons and during breaks, as the work also involves helping students develop their social skills.
