Valsätraskolan is Uppsala's largest primary school with approximately 930 students. We have high ambitions and work purposefully to strengthen students' academic results, especially in mathematics. The quality of teaching is at the center, and we believe in collaboration, clear pedagogical leadership, and high expectations. Here, we see every student and never give up on anyone.

As a Lead Teacher in Mathematics, you are a driving force in the school's development work. You are a skilled teacher with high subject didactic competence and documented ability to create teaching that leads to good results.

In your role, you have good pedagogical insight and adapt teaching, methods, and communication to students' different needs and conditions, which contributes to inclusion and learning for all. You have good collaboration skills and relate to your surroundings in a listening and flexible manner. You listen actively, communicate clearly, and handle classroom challenges in a constructive way. Furthermore, you are development-oriented and see opportunities in new ideas, methods, and approaches. You actively drive and contribute to the development of teaching and the operations as a whole.
