Ansvarsområder
#Free Palestine
“Education is not memorizing that Hitler killed 6 million Jews. Education is understanding how millions of ordinary Germans were convinced that it was required. Education is learning how to spot the signs of history repeating itself” (speech by Holocaust survivor Barbara Schecter Cohen).
I have work experience from all levels of the Norwegian education system, from early childhood education, primary-, lower- and upper-secondary school, to university-level education. In addition to teaching practice, my experience includes educational management and professional development on the municipal level. I have also worked as an environmental therapist for several years, caring for disabled children, -adolescents, and -adults in home care settings and institutions.
My expertise includes Early Childhood Education, Teaching and Teacher Education, Diversity-, Equity- and Inclusion Theory and Methods, History and Philosophy of Education, and Education Policy and Quality Assurance Systems.
