- You bring great interest and joy in working with cognitively impaired and autistic young people and are ready to respond individually, structured, and resource-oriented to their needs.
- You teach with joy in a multicultural and heterogeneous environment, and a motivated, positive attitude characterizes your working style.
- Your resource-, strength-, and solution-oriented approach supports both the students and the teamwork. You are accustomed to conducting parent-teacher meetings and constructively involving parents in the process.
