Inspiring example

To improve student success and prevent early school leaving, the Malmaskolan established a Student Health Team, consisting of a variety of professionals.

Goals

Since 2005, this Health Team - consisting of a school nurse, a special education teacher, the principal, the school counselor, the leisure-time pedagogues, the study and career counselor, a social worker, the school physician and a school psychologist - has been the core for the development of teaching at the school, and is a hub for both teaching and school development. They have open meetings thrice weekly where teachers can discuss issues, and where a wide range ofpotential measures to support students is identified.

Reflective questions after watching the video

• How do you help students to work together towards healthy solutions?
• How do you create a shared understanding within the community of the needs and the benefits in working together (school-based and larger)?
• How could your meetings be more benefial and in support of your students?
