Special Teacher Programme

Education facts

Code: LASSU

Intellektuell funktionsnedsättning ingår som en av tre inriktningar i speciallärarprogrammet. I utbildningen utvecklar du en speciallärarroll med fokus på förebyggande åtgärder och undervisning för elever mottagna i grundsärskola, gymnasiesärskola eller i särskild utbildning för vuxna. Du lär dig att analysera olika lärmiljöer, främst på individnivå, men också på grupp- och organisationsnivå. Som speciallärare driver du utvecklingen av det pedagogiska och didaktiska arbetet genom att möta elever i behov av särskilt stöd. Utifrån din yrkeserfarenhet och ditt professionella och vetenskapliga förhållningssätt arbetar du på individ-, grupp- och organisationsnivå, så som uppdraget kräver. Studierna bedrivs på sextiosju procents fart där i regel två dagar varannan vecka är förlagda till Växjö. Delar av utbildningen samläses med blivande specialpedagoger, vilket underlättar ett framtida samarbete för barn/elever i behov av särskilt stöd.
