We offer a developing work environment with many career paths. Vittra has a training program that includes various external training sessions as well as internal training, including a leadership development program for team leaders and networking meetings for lead teachers.
Collegial meetings with other teachers at other Vittra schools across Sweden.
We provide competency-enhancing work focused on teaching improvement, which occurs both locally and centrally through lecturer and author Simon Hjort from Linköping University. This is based on the literature "Effective Teaching" and "Deepening Students' Learning."
