Dalby School is looking for a Danish teacher for the lower primary grades.

What if you don’t have to fit into a fixed position?

At Dalby School we are looking for a teacher for the primary years who wants to be a class teacher and a Danish teacher – and who at the same time gets the opportunity to influence the rest of their timetable.

Because perhaps Danish is exactly you.

You might also have mathematics, music, crafts/design, physical education, visual arts, English or science/technology in your toolkit.

Or perhaps you can do something entirely different that we didn’t know we needed.

We would love to hear about it.

At Dalby School we do things a little differently.

A good timetable is not just about making the pieces fit – but about making them fit the people who will stand in it.

Therefore we are flexible in how we organize ourselves, and we are not afraid to move things around if it makes more sense for the students – or for the teacher who will be with them every day.

You will therefore not join a position where everything is decided in advance.

You will join a school where there is an opportunity to help shape it.

You will join a school with a strong sense of community around the students

In the primary years you work closely with teachers and school pedagogues.

The school pedagogue is an important part of everyday life and follows the class for 15-19 hours per week. This gives us the opportunity to create continuity, presence and security around the students – and at the same time be several adults taking responsibility for the class’s community.

We help each other, spar with each other and believe that we become better teachers by not always having to find the solutions alone.

Does this sound like you? Then we would love to hear from you.

Dalby School’s ambition

• We ensure that our students at all age groups have the opportunity to realise their full learning potential – both academically and personally
• We create space and opportunities for high-level learning with a focus on developing practice-based competencies
• We place a high value on a safe school environment with close and good cooperation between school and parents

Upcoming priority area at Dalby School

Academic and social well-being is chosen as a focus area in teaching with the aim that all children learn more.

We want to design teaching that supports students’ autonomy, competence, belonging and sense of meaning – in other words: motivation.

Students should have more influence, as the sense of freedom – e.g. regarding the order of tasks, choice of workspace and collaborators – is important.

Therefore all teachers will work with Participation Didactics and Weekly Schedule Revolution over the next two years. There will be training for everyone in the coming school year.

Weekly Schedule Revolution is designed to meet all students’ individual needs and create optimal conditions for their motivation, learning and well-being.

Participation Didactics is based on three key concepts: learning barriers, choices and student perspective. It supports teachers in planning, implementing and evaluating teaching where all students participate. The model reduces learning barriers by giving students choices. Everyone works toward the same goal, but in different ways.

Weekly Schedule Revolution is already in use with some teachers, but next year it will be part of teaching in all classes.

We combine academic and personal development so that students develop both competencies, responsibility and judgment. And with a basis in MOT we work with well-being, courage and strong communities as a foundation for learning. We therefore seek a teacher who wants to help create a school where both academic and human development go hand in hand.
