Would you like to help improve education and translate the municipality’s goals for public schools into solutions that work in the day-to-day operations of schools?

Avannaata Kommunia is seeking an educational consultant who can support school administrators and teachers in their work with educational development, quality, and implementation. You will be closely involved in school practices through dialogue and guidance, which may take place both during school visits and digitally.

This collaboration takes place through the administrative office, digitally, and through visits to the schools as needed.

The position focuses on learning and educational development. Digital solutions must be used in a targeted manner and based on clear educational value. Among other things, you will support distance learning and contribute to monitoring and evaluating schools’ use of iPads and other digital tools.
