Viksbergskolan
Viksbergskolan is an F–6 school with 350 students where work is characterized by movement and health, and the school was certified as a Generation Pep school in 2022. We see recess as the school day's most challenging lesson and actively work with teacher-led and guided recreational activities that enable learning, safety, and well-being. The school is led by a principal, deputy principal, and administrative manager in close collaboration with all school staff.
All employees at Viksbergskolan focus on predictable, comprehensible, and accessible teacher-led instruction. Teaching is planned, implemented, and evaluated by teachers together, across grade levels, teams, and the school's other collaborative forums. Lesson planning is based on student learning according to their conditions.
Teaching is based on a salutogenic approach, focusing on students who more easily encounter school difficulties. When challenges arise for teachers and/or students, school management ensures a systematic, goal-oriented, and needs-driven collegial learning process to increase competence. This occurs continuously and forms the basis of our development work regarding employee learning, which has an effect at the organizational, group, and individual levels.
