Let yourself be inspired by our wide range of professional development opportunities for teaching enhancement and support. As a special education teacher in Stockholm City Schools, you also have access to mentoring and coaching within networks.
Your role
You will be one of two special education teachers at the school, and you will both be important links in the educational network at the school. You will work with general initiatives at an overarching level, as well as on group and individual levels. Your work will be both promoting, preventive, and corrective. You will work closely with the school management, be a part of the student health team, and collaborate closely with the working teams while providing guidance to individual teachers. You will ensure that education is accessible, inclusive, and integrative, thereby fostering participation for all students. During the current academic year, the school started a new class in the introductory program, Individually Adapted Alternative (IMA). A significant part of your role will involve working with our IMA classes. This includes close collaboration with teaching staff, welcoming new students, establishing individual study plans, and supporting both students and teachers in the classroom.
In collaboration with teachers, you will conduct educational assessments and carry out in-depth reading and writing investigations for students in all school programs. You will collaborate closely with special education teachers and teachers with special educational assignments. You will develop action plans together with the assistant principals and the collective expertise within the student health team. You will meet with classes and sometimes individual students to discuss study techniques. You will identify and convey knowledge about additional adaptations, as well as develop and implement support structures and aids. You may also conduct lesson observations to observe and enhance learning environments and approaches in classrooms from your special education perspective. You are a natural participant in class meetings and subject conferences.
Qualifications
You are a certified teacher with a master's degree in special education and have a passionate interest in developing the school's work with additional adaptations, special support, and inclusive teaching in collaboration with teachers, the student health team, and school management. Experience working with high school students and qualifications to teach mathematics are advantageous.
You possess personal maturity, strong collaboration skills, and the ability to create and maintain relationships. You are independent, proactive, empathetic, and demonstrate good judgment. You are also structured and creative.
You have a well-developed ability to express yourself verbally and in writing, as well as solid digital competence. Experience with administrative systems such as Prorenata and Infomentor is a plus.
We place great emphasis on personal suitability. Stockholm City is committed to competence-based recruitment aimed at recognizing each individual's skills and thereby combating discrimination.
