Danish teacher for 6th grade at Strandgårdskolen

Now you have the opportunity to become part of an inclusive and ambitious public school in Ishøj. A public school where we, in cooperation with parents, create the framework for a holistic school day and raise the students academically and socially.

Strandgårdskolen is a school located centrally in Ishøj. We work with outdoor teaching and with creating opportunities for practical instruction. In addition, we work to create strong communities for all children. Strong communities are understood as academic communities, social communities and as having the competencies to participate in different forms of community. We believe that all children should feel valued, that all children should feel that they belong, and that children's actions are communication.

You should be able to teach Danish, and if you can also teach practical/music subjects such as visual arts, music or swimming, that is a bonus! You should be eager to connect practical teaching with theoretical teaching. In return, you will become part of a school with high academic standards, great freedom to design courses and go on trips, a flexible timetable, and self-managing teams. Therefore your other teaching subjects will be agreed with your team.

You will become part of a self-managing year-group team that helps, supports, and backs each other up in all work related to the students. In each year group we work with class division and support each other across classes. The teams design flexible timetables themselves, which gives a dynamic and changing school day, which we believe creates the best learning for our students.

The close relationship to the year group and the flexible schedules enable the team to create longer and meaningful courses that can span many days or weeks. We collaborate closely with, among others, Ishøj Nature School, which creates relevant courses in collaboration with the teachers.

We are a school with many social events among staff. We receive fruit on Tuesday and eat freshly baked bread every Friday mid-morning. We are also proud of our canteen, where you can get morning food during the 10-minute break and buy your lunch.

Strandgårdskolen consists of about 460 students from 0th to 9th grade. Of these, 85 students are in our group arrangement, which is part of a whole and coherent school in motion.

Strandgårdskolen is a modern and newly renovated school, and we are close to large green areas, forest, lake, the beach, and the Arken art museum – and only 17 minutes by train from Copenhagen H

We have skilled mentors who are ready to support and co-practice, and the school invests broadly in competency development as a path to school development. As Ishøj Municipality's flagship school, and UNICEF-certified rights school, we move positively and purposefully into the future. We have the will and strength to challenge the students' potential.

We encourage you to visit the school if you are interested in one of the positions, and we look forward to hearing from you.

If you have further questions, you are welcome to contact someone from the school leadership team. Ask for department head Berrak at phone 43 73 58 61.
