This is what you can achieve with us:
The children in the class are on the autism spectrum with and without visual impairment and are all taught in a 1:1 setting. The pupils are taught in their offices and only spend short periods in group settings. You will be supported in the implementation of the lessons by an educational team for which you take on the educational leadership.
You plan age-appropriate lessons according to Curriculum 21 and carry them out together with the team. Individual educational and support plans, which you create, serve as the basis for your teaching. In addition, you supervise the educational team, ensure coordination work and maintain contact with the guardians and external specialist agencies. Administrative tasks such as maintaining the children's files and preparing reports also belong to your area of responsibility. Furthermore, you conduct location discussions, participate in working groups and help organise special weeks.
