Would you teach AI or Danish at Høje-Taastrup Ungdomsskole?

The students have chosen either the AI group or the Danish subject, and they want to become more proficient. If you can see yourself in the description below, we would love to hear from you.

About the group: Danish – strong in the subject, ready for the test

Here's how the group is described for the students

Do you want to become stronger in Danish and at the same time get a handle on what is expected for term tests and final exams? In Danish we work with reading, grammar, spelling, punctuation, analysis, oracy and written composition . You will become more knowledgeable about different task types, ways of working and examination formats, while developing your Danish subject skills.

The teaching consists of both joint activities, collaboration and individual work, and you help focus on the areas you would like to work more on. The goal is for you to become stronger in Danish and familiar with the tasks, working methods and exam formats you encounter in the subject.

About the group: AI

Here's how the group is described for the students

Become more knowledgeable about AI, and learn to use it creatively and responsibly. We experiment with text, images, music, video and idea development. We can use a 3D printer and laser cutter for some of our projects. The group is for everyone – no experience is necessary

Who are you?

Subject matter: You are skilled in your subject and can convey it in an engaging way at eye level with the young people. You do not need teaching experience or experience with young people, although both are a plus. It is, however, a huge plus if you can communicate in a playful/creative way so that everyone can participate, as the young people have different academic prerequisites.

Eye for the social: Teaching in the Youth School is 50/50 about the academic and the social. The young people come voluntarily in their spare time. Their engagement and willingness to continue on the group depends, among other things, on your way of meeting the young people and the atmosphere of security and belonging you can create on the group.

Can create room for youth involvement: The young people have voluntarily signed up for your group because they are particularly motivated, have specific interests, wishes or needs. It is important that you can engage in dialogues with the young people about their wishes and needs. The young people should not become passive recipients of a course you have planned alone, but participate actively in the teaching.

Can incorporate hands-on and get out into the real world as part of the teaching: A Youth School group should ideally differ from a school subject by being less curriculum- and performance-oriented and more hands-on, activating, playful and similar. Feel free to go out into the yard or out into the world and learn in other settings. Although most teaching sessions take place at the Youth School, it is desirable to arrange excursions and other forms of interaction with the outside world.
