We have a common strategy for education in our municipality: to create a coherent education chain that contributes to greater equality, improved learning outcomes and attractive education. We want all children, young people and adults to have the opportunity to reach their full potential and develop their knowledge and skills. We know that this is based on committed, knowledgeable and professional staff who provide high-quality teaching. We make a difference every day and are proud of our mission. Our work contributes to the confidence of children and young people. The Competence Center for Multilingualism in Umeå is a municipality-wide activity that supports preschools and schools with language support, mother tongue teaching and study guidance. Multilingualism is an asset and all children and pupils should have the opportunity to develop and strengthen their languages. The Competence Center for Multilingualism is also a reception unit for newly arrived children and pupils from preschool to young people of upper secondary school age and also offers skills-enhancing initiatives in language and knowledge-developing approaches from preschool to grade 9. Do you speak North Sami? The Competence Center for Multilingualism is looking for a colleague in Northern Sami. If you speak North Sami and have experience of working with children and young people, you may want to become our new colleague. Ideally, you have a teacher training in preschool or school. Do you live outside Umeå but have the language skills and are used to teaching with remote technology? Do not hesitate to apply! Your work tasks You will teach students from preschool class to year 9 in North Sami. Students receive 120 minutes of instruction each week. Teaching in a language shower four times per school year is included in the assignment. It is an itinerant service and pupils receive local teaching (alternatively distance teaching) at the pupil's home school from preschool class up to year 3. From year 4, this may mean that the pupil receives their teaching at another school. We offer a bus pass for travel between Umeå Municipality schools. Distance teaching can be included in the service within the municipality's peripheral schools for pupils from year 2. The work as a mother tongue teacher includes planning, implementation, grading and evaluation of the teaching you carry out based on the Swedish curriculum. You are never alone as we work together to develop teaching based on our three key words language, culture and identity within the framework of our Language Hub; a language hub that brings together the national minority languages from the small child to the almost adult.
