Education facts

Code: LASSU

Som speciallärare ska du kunna leda utvecklingen av det pedagogiska arbetet med målet att möta behoven hos alla elever. Studierna bedrivs på 67 procents fart där i regel två dagar varannan vecka är förlagda till Campus Växjö. I speciallärarens yrkesroll ingår att kritiskt och självständigt genomföra pedagogiska utredningar samt analysera svårigheter i olika lärmiljöer, främst på individnivå men även på grupp- och organisationsnivå. Utbildningen ska utveckla din speciallärarroll och lägger stor vikt vid förebyggande åtgärder och särskild träning av elever i behov av särskilt stöd. Du får också lära dig att praktiskt arbeta med IKT för att kompensera olika inlärningssvårigheter. Utbildningen består av föreläsningar, seminarier, gruppdiskussioner och olika slag av arbets- och examinationsuppgifter som oftast är verksamhetsanknutna. Delar av utbildningen samläses med blivande specialpedagoger, vilket underlättar ett framtida samarbete för barn och elever i behov av särskilt stöd.
