Instead you will be a central part of the class’s well-being and inclusion efforts and will have a large influence on the development of a new middle form around the class. Together with teachers and leadership you will have the opportunity to help shape a practice that supports the students’ development both socially and personally.

Particularly for the new 5th grade, we prioritize three adults around the class daily. This provides good opportunities to work preventively, create participation opportunities for all students and develop inclusive learning environments.

A portion of your working time will also be in Klubben, which is the after-school program for students from 4th to 6th grade in Knudsø department. Here you become part of a dedicated pedagogical community where relationships, activities and communities continue after school hours.
