Stauning School is looking for a Danish teacher for the early primary grades.

Danish teacher for the early primary years – with a focus on language, community and participation

Are you passionate about the Danish subject and about giving children a strong linguistic start to their school life? And are you motivated to develop the teaching together with others? Then you may be the one we are looking for for our early primary years.

We are seeking a academically strong and engaged Danish teacher for a 90% position with start on December 1, 2026. You will become part of our early primary grades and will also play a central role in a development project focused on co-teaching in Danish from kindergarten to and including 3rd grade.

The project runs until July 1, 2028, and the position includes the possibility of extension.

About the position

We want to give our youngest students the best possible conditions to develop their language, reading and writing, and to experience themselves as active participants in the classroom communities.

Therefore, we are deliberately working with co-teaching in Danish. We believe that two subject professionals who plan, implement and evaluate the teaching together can create more paths into the teaching and better opportunities for each child to succeed.

You do not need to be an expert in co-teaching beforehand. The most important is that you want to develop your practice together with others and are curious about how we can collectively create good teaching for different children.

During the project period you will among other things

• teach Danish in the early primary years
• participate in planning, implementation and evaluation of co-teaching processes
• have a class teacher role in the early primary years
• have a particular focus on students' language development, reading and participation opportunities
• actively contribute to the development of our joint pedagogical practice.

We emphasize that you have a major in Danish or other equally strong Danish-related competencies.

We are seeking a teacher who

• is passionate about the Danish subject and children's language development
• has a sense of how different children get the opportunity to participate and succeed in teaching
• works structurally and is a clear and competent classroom leader
• is academically curious and eager to investigate and develop one’s own practice
• thrives in close and committed collaboration with colleagues
• contributes with engagement, responsibility and flexibility
• is trustworthy in collaboration with students, parents and colleagues
• has a sense of humor and a twinkle in the eye
• wants to help develop a small school where there is a short path from idea to action.

We offer

• opportunity to immerse yourself in the Danish subject and language development as an early intervention
• opportunity to contribute to developing co-teaching as part of the school's pedagogical practice
• close professional collaboration with colleagues in the early primary years
• a dedicated staff room with high morale and strong collegial collaboration
• a work environment focused on community and professionalism
• a small school where we know the children and each other well
• mentoring for new employees
• good and functional teacher workplaces.
