ABOUT THE JOB We are now seeking a Sámi duajjáre/vytnesjæjja/duojár/duodjár to teach within the framework of Sámi-integrated crafts in primary school. The position can be combined with native language instruction. Lycksele is ambitious about being the hub for crafts integration in school in the Västerbotten inland region. This includes agreements with the Sámi School Board regarding Sámi-integrated instruction in primary school. We currently have nine native language teachers in Sámi languages and one duajjáre who also teaches South Sámi as a native language. These form a work team where experience sharing and professional development take place. If your teaching experience is limited, you will receive support from experienced colleagues and our lead teacher. Classes are held Tuesday through Thursday and instruction takes place at Finnbackskolan, Norrängsskolan, and Forsdalaskolan. Our ambition to develop Sámi integration is high, and therefore we are seeking someone who wants to share this ambition with us. As a duajjáre, you conduct instruction together with the regular craft teacher. This means the regular craft teacher is responsible for grading and the structure of instruction. Teaching is directed toward students in grades 5 through 9 with varying backgrounds and occurs in full classes, smaller groups, and sometimes individually for both hard and soft crafts. The position is 50% but can be combined with native language instruction in South or Ume Sámi up to 100%. Native language instruction can be conducted either in-person or as distance learning. This means that 2 days/week of instruction can be conducted from a location other than Lycksele. YOUR PROFILE We believe in the right competence in the right place. We are seeking someone with strong knowledge of Sámi culture and who masters both soft and hard crafts. We would like it if you have teacher education or equivalent experience from educational activities, but what is most important to us is that you have the motivation and interest to teach students in Sámi craftsmanship together with the regular craft teacher. A driver's license category B and driving experience are required for the position. To be able to combine the position with an assignment as a native language teacher in South or Ume Sámi, you are expected to have strong knowledge of South or Ume Sámi, as well as a strong desire and great interest in teaching. Teacher or native language teacher education is desirable, as is experience from educational activities or having otherwise developed strong pedagogical abilities. We would like it if you have the ambition to educate yourself to become a native language teacher if you do not already have that background. It is also important that you have good computer skills if you choose distance learning instruction. For us, it is important that you can meet students based on their different prerequisites. You need to have good social competence and a professional demeanor. You see the work team as an asset for support and experience sharing, while having the ability to independently conduct and take responsibility for your own instruction and related tasks. We are a values-driven organization, and therefore it is important that your demeanor and actions align with our values – Compassion, Together, and Drive. Great weight will therefore be placed on personal suitability. WHAT WE OFFER YOU In Lycksele Municipality, people are the primary resource.
