Charlotte Jakobsson

Charlotte Jakobsson works as a special educator in a municipal primary school in parallel with pursuing half-time studies in special pedagogy at The Research School in Special Education. She has a primary school teacher exam, a special teacher exam with emphasis on language, reading and writing, and is also a master of science in special pedagogy. Charlotte has 20 years of experience working at all stages of primary schools, whereof 15 years as a special teacher/pedagogue, primarily at elementary schools, but also at a special resource school for students with neuro-psychiatric disorders and other impediments, that affect the ability to cope with school’s demands.

Charlotte’s fields of interest are: special pedagogy, accessible teaching, as well as the socio-emotional climate of teaching environments. Her current research deals with how cross-professional competences in the student health teams can support early efforts to encourage schools’ preventive work by developing the learning environment, as well as the school's interprofessionell collaboration in order to support the development and learning for all students regardless of their functional capacities.
