Pedagogical advisor for the Dronninggård classes

Pedagogical advisor for the Dronninggård classes

Would you like to help develop the special educational practice around children and young people within the autism spectrum – closely tied to students, staff and the daily school practice?

The Dronninggård classes are Rudersdal Municipality's ambitious special educational school offer for typically developing children and young people within the autism spectrum. The program is anchored at Holte School and has about 130 students from 0th to 9th grade and a little over 70 staff members.

We are seeking a full-time pedagogical advisor who will help support and develop the specialized educational quality in the Dronninggård classes. We have high ambitions for our special program, and you will play a central role in the continued development of our special educational practice. The focus in the first instance is in the early years, where we are working to establish the basic structure and school day that accompanies the child in their schooling in the Dronninggård classes.

The position is for you if you can stand firmly in your own professional field and at the same time be curious about others’ perspectives. You must be able to translate special educational knowledge into concrete practice and be keen to be close to the staff and students whom the guidance concerns. You must have the courage to stand in the middle of practice and not be afraid to participate down to the production of the individual team’s visual aids. In short; you will help to support the coherent thread in the program’s pedagogy.

For us, guidance is not something that only takes place at a meeting table. We expect you to be visible in everyday life, observe practice, engage in professional reflection with the staff and help develop solutions that work for the individual student and for the community.

About the Dronninggård classes Our students require a specially organized learning environment where structure, predictability, clarity and strong relationships are central elements.

We work from a shared view of childhood, where the starting point is that children do well if they can, and that difficulties must be understood in the context of the frameworks and conditions in which the child operates.

We are ambitious on the students’ behalf. The goal is for our students to develop academically, socially and personally and to obtain the best possible conditions to be active participants in their own lives.

It requires professional practice where we continuously examine, adjust and develop our pedagogical and didactic approaches.

Your role As a pedagogical advisor, you will play a central role in the development of our shared special educational practice.

You will work across the Dronninggård classes and closely with teachers, pedagogues, assistants, psychologists and management. A significant part of the task will be to help staff and teams translate professional perspectives into concrete actions in the students’ daily lives. It is important to emphasize that you will play a major role in our early years, which a year ago received many new students and moved to new surroundings on Grünersvej.

You must be able to move between the individual student, the team’s practice and the department’s more overarching professional development.

Your tasks will among other things include

• guide staff and teams in special educational issues
• observe practice and, together with the staff, examine what promotes or hinders the student’s participation, well-being and development
• support work with structure, predictability, communication, regulation and opportunities to participate
• contribute to analysis and development of interventions around students with complex problems
• support work with students who are experiencing difficulties and concerning school absence
• facilitate professional reflections, sparring and practice-oriented development processes
• contribute to the development and retention of a common professional language and a shared special educational direction
• work closely with the school leadership, PPR and other relevant professionals
• contribute with professional presentations and competency development for the staff group
• help develop and qualify the Dronninggård class’s special educational practice.

You should be able to see the Dronninggård classes as part of the municipality’s overall special educational effort and be curious about other professional perspectives besides your own. We expect that you can mentalize, shift perspective and contribute to cross-disciplinary and cross-organizational collaboration.We envision that you have a relevant teaching qualification and solid experience from the special educational field. It could be as a teacher, pedagogue or with another relevant professional background.

It is important to us that you have a strong understanding of practice. You must be able to meet staff with respect and in an exploratory manner and be able to guide without placing yourself outside or above the practice you are helping to develop.

We emphasize that you

• have solid knowledge of autism, comorbidity and special education
• have experience with guidance, supervision, sparring or professional development
• can translate theory and professional knowledge into realistic actions in a busy school day
• can analyze complex pedagogical situations and maintain a view of both the child, relationships and context
• have an awareness of stress reactions, regulation, demand tailoring and the importance of secure and predictable frameworks
• have interest in problematic school absence and the work of creating sustainable participation opportunities for students
• can facilitate professional processes and create reflection without necessarily having all the answers
• can collaborate with different professional groups and accommodate diverse professional perspectives
• communicate clearly and calmly – both orally and in writing
• have the courage to challenge practice in a respectful way
• are curious, persistent and professionally ambitious on behalf of students and staff.

You do not need to know everything from day one. But you should want to immerse yourself, learn new things and help develop our shared professional practice.

We offer A position with real professional influence in a large and ambitious special educational environment.

You will become part of a workplace where we take the task seriously, but where there is also room for humor, curiosity and different perspectives.

We offer, among other things

• a strong and engaged cross-professional work community
• skilled and ambitious colleagues with a high level of special educational expertise
• close collaboration with leadership and PPR
• opportunity to shape the professional development of the Dronninggård classes
