About this role
Do you want to work in a smaller setting within the introductory programs where you have the opportunity to make a difference for students in need of extra support? Welcome to us!
**Your Responsibilities**
The introductory program is aimed at students who are not eligible for high school; our students often come from problematic school situations in primary school, may be newly arrived, and have a significant need for support both in their education and daily lives. All students study primary school subjects, and the programs are tailored to each student's circumstances and needs. This means that the students you teach, the content of the lessons, and the level of instruction can vary and change frequently. Work in the introductory programs is based on close collaboration between teachers, student health personnel, and leisure leaders.
As a teacher, your starting point is to work with planning, instruction, evaluation, and value-based work according to the curriculum. The work is carried out both independently and in collaboration with colleagues.
As a teacher, you will collaborate with guardians, colleagues, and others present in the school to achieve higher goal fulfillment and create the best conditions for each student. You will start from the student group you meet and are expected to create varied and challenging instruction. Using digital tools is a natural part of your teaching.
You promote collegial learning through discussion and reflection during both planned and spontaneous occasions. To benefit students' learning, as well as your own and the development of the organization, you will leverage the experiences and knowledge of various professionals.
The introductory programs are growing, and we are now looking for several teachers. In this position, you will teach some core subjects such as Swedish, mathematics, English, social studies, or Swedish as a second language, depending on your qualifications, competencies, and the needs of the organization.
**Your Workplace**
Berzeliusskolan is a centrally located school in Linköping with modern facilities. It includes the upper grades of primary school, high school, and adapted high school. The high school comprises science and technology programs as well as the introductory program focused on language introduction and individual alternatives. There are approximately 1,900 students in total, of which over 1,000 are in high school, and about 330 employees at the school. As the introductory program grows, this student group will have their classes in facilities located a bit away from Berzeliusskolan, but school lunch and instruction in sports and certain other subjects will take place at Berzeliusskolan.
At Berzeliusskolan, we work together and strive for an atmosphere that welcomes everyone. This means we have clear routines, action plans, and a well-developed student health service to create a safe environment for students and staff. Our goal is for Berzeliusskolan to be the best choice for students' learning and development.
