JOB RESPONSIBILITIES We are now looking for someone who wants to make a real difference every day. As a special education teacher, you will be an important part of our team and will have clear pedagogical responsibility for instruction. You will plan, implement, develop, and follow up on instruction for students in grades 7–9 who are studying subjects according to the adapted elementary school curriculum and course syllabi. You will adapt your teaching, methods, learning tools, and communication to the students’ diverse needs while challenging each student to develop to their fullest potential. In your teaching, you will employ a clear structure and a student-centered approach. You foster a sense of security and motivation and help students discover that they are capable of more than they might realize. An important part of the role is to monitor and document students’ academic progress and to conduct assessments based on the adapted elementary school course plans and grading criteria. You will also contribute to preparing students for the transition to adapted high school and, in the long term, to as independent and meaningful an adult life as possible. You will work closely with colleagues, student health services, and guardians. At our school, teaching is a shared responsibility where different professionals contribute their expertise. We help each other when needed, share both successes and challenges, and constantly strive to develop our programs together.

What may be a small step for one student can be a major breakthrough for another. We want you to believe in students’ abilities and their right to knowledge, growth, and participation.
