Certification of teaching staff in the last year. How is teacher certification done?

The certification of teachers for 2017-2018 is a completely new set of rules, regulations and charters, and the whole process is carried out and carried out in two stages, each of which has its own characteristics and characteristics. For example, at the very beginning, the teacher will definitely have to demonstrate and show all his professional suitability. But only then the teacher needs to prove the right to acquire the declared category.

The only thing that has not changed is that the decision is made based on the results of a special commission, which evaluates the level of competence of a given teacher.

But, about everything in more detail, because here everything is not as simple as it seems at first glance.

Types of certification.

As mentioned above, the process of certification of teachers has a small variety and classification. This is a mandatory and voluntary certification, which differ significantly from each other.

• First, mandatory certification. This type implies certification, which is mandatory without exception for all employees. It should be noted that in 2018 it will be held in accordance with all the innovations that were introduced and implemented in 2017. It is worth saying that all those teachers who began their career directly in 2015 are not suitable for this type of certification, and those teachers who have just returned from maternity leave do not fall under it, even despite the fact that the term of the previous one is already expired or expired. Moreover, those teachers who, for some reason, did not work during the last 4 months, can also refuse attestation on quite legal grounds.
• Secondly, voluntary. This type implies direct certification for everyone who wants to improve their qualification category ahead of schedule. The main objective of this attestation is to create stimulation of professional growth among those teachers who really need it. If you want to become a participant in this type of certification, then in 2018 you must write and submit an appropriate statement of your desire and intentions and, of course, send it to the director of the educational institution. As a rule, the application must be considered within one month, but no more. In the event that the answer is positive, then a special commission is assembled, which will decide the future fate of the teacher. According to the law, the entire certification process takes no more than 2 months. If for some reason the teacher does not agree with the decision of the attestation commission, then he has the right to convene another commission capable of resolving this dispute, or go to court.

It is probably no secret to anyone that advanced training implies an increase in wages.

New regulations and rules.

Already from the beginning of the new 2017-2018 academic year, each teacher must familiarize himself with the introduced transformations and changes in the issue of certification. What changes and provisions should be named and noted first of all?

It is worth saying that after the expiration of the established period, or rather, 1 month, the applicant must receive a notification letter to his home address, where the place and time of the certification will be indicated in detail. As a rule, the certification schedule for the first and highest qualification category is established and approved by the Ministry of Education in advance.

As you can see, the process of attestation of teachers has really undergone a number of serious changes that the teaching staff must cope with, because everyone already has some experience and their own store of knowledge.

Everything flows, everything changes... But, as practice shows, not all changes adopted by the Government lead to the best, although the first opinion is sometimes erroneous. After the latest changes in teacher certification, which will be introduced in 2018, messages and comments from dissatisfied teachers appeared on forums and websites. What is planned to be changed and why educational workers consider themselves offended, we will understand further.

Latest changes in teacher certification in 2018

Not so long ago, the deputy of Rosobrnadzor Anzor Muzaev told the media that next year it is planned to adopt a new model for certification of teachers. According to him, such measures are aimed at reducing the number of weak teachers and improving their qualifications. The results of the VPR checks, the comparison of grades in the USE and grades in schools and classes show that some teachers overestimate grades, in other words, they do not correspond to the actual knowledge of students. This phenomenon is especially observed in the provinces. Muzaev believes that the reason may lie in the lack of awareness of the teacher, the small baggage of his knowledge.

A new form of certification of teachers in 2018, according to the official, is being developed jointly with the teaching staff, which will eliminate mistakes in the preparation of tasks to test the professional suitability of teachers. The new model for checking educational workers will consist of three main blocks:

1. Checking the level of knowledge in the subject.
2. Checking psychological characteristics.
3. Testing pedagogical skills.

This approach will determine not only the level of knowledge of the teacher, but also his ability to present material, find a common language with children, and so on. So far, there is no information about the form in which knowledge, psychology and pedagogy will be tested, since the schemes and methods have not been fully developed, and the proposed options cause indignation among educational staff.

Weaknesses of the new form of teacher certification in 2018

It is known that a new certification of teaching staff from 2018 will be carried out every 4 years. Earlier, Rosobrnazdor stated that the inspection should be carried out more often - every 2-3 years, but so far such a proposal has not been implemented.

Despite the fact that while the new teacher verification model has not been approved and is in the process of being developed, a wave of indignation is sweeping the Internet and schools. Here are the main points that cause dissatisfaction of teaching staff:

1. Teachers are invited to write an essay that will assess their horizons. The question arises as to who will check their work and by what criteria. It is possible that the assessment will be biased, and the requirements are significantly overstated. It is also possible that essays will replace KIM (like the USE). It will include both general and specific questions on the subject.
2. It is proposed to check the psychological characteristics based on the analysis of the teacher's video lesson. But technical difficulties arise, since the video should not be filmed on a phone or other gadget, but made by a professional. But this requires financial costs, as well as permission to shoot from all the parents of the students, which is basically impossible.
3. From a legal point of view, confirmation of pedagogical suitability can be challenged in court, since a document (diploma) obtained after graduating from a higher educational institution indicates the presence of the necessary skills.

A similar situation with the test of skills affected drivers. After officials introduced a mandatory retake of the test and a test of driving skills when exchanging a driver's license. Drivers managed to prove in court that they had already passed such a test when passing the exam before obtaining a license. It is possible that the situation will repeat itself and teachers will be able to defend their rights.

What will happen to teachers who did not pass certification in 2018?

Since the certification of teachers in 2018 will become tougher and it is possible that not everyone will be able to pass it, a natural question arises about what will happen to those. According to Anzor Murzaev, teachers will not be fired or punished, since the goals of the changes are completely different - the formation of highly qualified teaching staff with a high level of knowledge. The more a teacher knows, the more knowledge he can pass on to his students.

Teachers who failed to pass the certification will be sent for advanced training. Such an approach will make it possible to get rid of weak workers in the educational sphere, but not through dismissal, but through training. Rosobrnadzor emphasized that teachers have nothing to fear, and new changes will bring the education sector to a new level.

One of the leading directions in 2018-2019 for the Government of the Russian Federation is the reform of the education system, the purpose of which is to increase the social status of the teacher, the prestige of the profession and the general level of teaching. Along with the increasing requirements for graduates of schools, gymnasiums and lyceums, the requirements for teaching staff are also growing. What will the teacher of 2019 be like, and what new mechanisms for professional growth is the state preparing for future and already working teachers? We propose to understand in more detail the intricacies of the new legislation.

Profession "teacher"

Leaving the walls of a higher educational institution with a brand new diploma and big ambitions, young teachers face a number of problems:

• Difficulties with employment, because most educational institutions want to get an experienced and already proven specialist.
• Low wages, because "starting from scratch" a young specialist is deprived of a large number of allowances that form the salary of an experienced teacher with an impressive experience.
• The inability to quickly improve their professional level by passing the next certification (often this issue largely depends not on the professionalism of the young specialist, but on the desire of the administration).

As a result, a fairly large percentage of promising young professionals who previously dreamed of working with children are looking for opportunities for self-realization and decent earnings in other areas, which leads to a shortage of quality teaching staff, which is especially noticeable in small towns, towns and villages.

The reform launched by the Government, as well as the new certification of teachers, which will replace the old order of advanced training in 2019, should radically change the situation of young teachers, opening up the widest opportunities for personal and career growth.

Why is certification needed?

The teacher certification system is a kind of career ladder in the field of education. A higher category opens up new opportunities for teachers, namely:

1. growth of wages and related payments in accordance with the established tariff scale;
2. the ability to additionally take a “classroom guide”;
3. the right to manage the office, etc.

Experienced teachers know that for many years a young specialist who graduated from the university expected a long and difficult path to the top, taking into account such norms:

• The first certification of the teacher 5 years after the start of work.
• Extraordinary attestation (in the presence of serious merit) not earlier than 2 years after the previous one.
• Gradual growth, which did not allow young professionals to qualify for the “highest” category before the lower levels (second and first) were conquered.
• It was possible to be certified for compliance with the already achieved level, or to upgrade the category.
• The teacher's work itself and its effectiveness were evaluated, but there were no tests for knowledge of the subject as such.

Preparing for certification, the teacher had to do a large-scale work on the preparation of a portfolio, in which it was necessary to describe in detail the work for the reporting period, providing the commission with solid evidence that the teacher is actively working in all main areas:

• subject teaching;
• organization of extracurricular activities of students;
• interaction with parents;
• participation in school life;
• methodical work;
• self-education, causing personal and professional growth.

At the same time, having reached certain heights, many lost the desire to continue working on themselves, which was especially pronounced against the background of the introduction of new norms and teaching methods. That is why the country needs a new form of teacher certification, which is planned to be introduced in 2019.

A new format for evaluating teacher performance

In 2019, certification awaits those teachers who need to confirm their qualifications after a 5-year term and those who wish to improve their category. According to the Ministry of Education and Science, an additional incentive for teachers to work actively and strive for career growth will be an increase in the gap between the minimum and maximum rates in the tariff scale, which should increase on average from 16,000 rubles to 16,000 rubles next year. up to 50,000 rubles

The main innovation of 2019 will be the NCT (National Proficiency Test), which will be mandatory for all teachers undergoing certification and will consist of 70% questions on the subject and 30% on teaching methods and psychology.

Also, recent changes have affected the very essence of evaluating the effectiveness of a teacher, and in 2019 a new format of certification of teachers will allow actively working young professionals to quickly achieve success and recognition.

The main innovations will be:

• The ability to "jump" through the category.
• The opportunity to “go” for certification earlier if there is a certain number of merits and achievements.
• The basis will be taken not only the achievements of students, but also a comparison of the level of the teacher himself in the dynamics of "yesterday" and "today".
• The activity and efficiency of the teacher's work during the inter-certification period will be shown by the rating calculated according to a special methodology.
• Teachers are expected to demonstrate conceptual methodological approaches to the implementation of new GEF norms and standards.

Of course, many experts of the “old school” look at innovations with some apprehension, because they will not only have to show the effectiveness of their work, but also confirm their knowledge of the subject, which can cause some difficulties for those who read in certain parallels for a long period and managed to forget a little subtleties of some topics.

What will happen to those who do not pass certification?

Most of the fears that arise among teachers are related to the question - what will happen to those who will not be able to pass the NCT or will not pass the certification for any other reason.

The Ministry of Education and Science clearly stated that no one would fire a teacher who failed to pass the “aptitude test” in the new format.

Not high enough test results are a signal that a person needs to pay a little more attention to his professional level. To “pull up” qualifications will help in special courses at the relevant regional Institutes for the Improvement of Teachers. It is worth noting that attending such courses was mandatory for all certified teachers before. Simply, according to the new rules, the “failed” test will have to return to self-education again and take the issue of their professional training more seriously.

New positions for successful teachers

Young or long-term teachers in the field of education will have a real opportunity for career growth. The new Professional standard of 2019 involves the introduction of such positions as:

• Senior teacher (a specialist of the 1st category can apply for the title).
• Leading teacher (for teachers with the highest qualification category).

Naturally, the work of the senior and leading teacher will be paid at a higher level.

Certification of teaching staff is a mandatory procedure in all educational institutions. Moreover, this issue is regulated at the level of legislation. All of them will need to be carefully read - especially by heads of educational institutions.

General provisions

Various civil servants, namely, employees of educational state institutions, must necessarily meet certain standards.

Testing of teachers for professional suitability should be carried out once every 5 years, at least. Moreover, if for some reason the teacher does not pass such a test twice in a row, then he is simply suspended from work.

This process is carried out within the framework of the law - as well as the verification procedure itself. You will need to carefully read all the nuances and subtleties of the procedure. Teachers themselves must also be aware of all their rights and obligations. This is the only way to avoid standard problems. And also, without the help of outsiders, to protect their own rights.

What it is

The certification process is a verification, confirmation of a certain qualification of employees. It is important to note that this process has its own subtleties and features. All of them will need to be dealt with first.

The main objectives of such events are:

It is important to note that this process is carried out only within the framework of the law. That is why all persons, without exception, who in one way or another are related to the certification, need to familiarize themselves with it.

This will avoid violations, as well as confirm the fact of compliance with minimal difficulties. The screening process may vary slightly depending on which position is being screened.

The attestation commission usually includes a wide range of specialists. All of them will need to be familiar with in advance. This is the only way to avoid standard errors, as well as all sorts of other problems. There is a wide list of subtleties, important points.

Who falls under the category

It is important to note that not all members of the teaching staff will be required to undergo this kind of procedure. For some, an exception is made.

These include the following:

1. Employees of the pedagogical sphere who have previously received the highest or first category of qualification.
2. If the job is carried out in the position for less than two consecutive years.
3. On maternity leave or just pregnant.
4. There is a disability due to injury or illness.

It is important to note that the result of such certification is legally binding. And in the future, such data will be the basis for a variety of actions by management. It is worth working out such a moment in advance.

The following measures may be taken:

It is important to note that it is impossible to pass certification, pass qualifications and this is precisely the basis for terminating the employment contract. The employer has the right to terminate the agreement unilaterally.

Since the employee actually does not meet the requirements that are stated for a particular position. It is important to work out such a moment in advance. This is the only way to avoid common mistakes.

Moreover, employees in the field of education have the right to be certified at their own request. If, for example, there is a desire to get one of the two current qualification categories. Such a moment will need to be worked out in advance. If the test was successfully passed, there is no need to re-pass such certification over the next 5 years.

If you want to pass such certification again, you will need to wait until the previous one expires. The expiration date will be taken into account until a specific check is passed. It is important to note that when moving from category to category, the waiting time may vary slightly.

Features of the procedure

The latest changes in the law on certification of pedagogical workers in 2019 relate primarily to documentation. And also a number of other points. All of them will need to be reviewed in advance.

Moreover, changes take place almost every year. That is why it will be necessary to deal with all of them in advance. Edits are constantly published. First of all - in the special media.

These are just Rossiyskaya Gazeta, as well as Kommersant. This media reflects the relevant information just regarding the introduction of amendments to the relevant legislative norms.

Basic sections that you will need to familiarize yourself with in advance:

• what changes have been made;
• in what terms is carried out;
• Required documents;
• actions in case of non-delivery;
• important aspects;
• what is regulated.

What changes have taken place

Legislation changes every year. The main nuances that you should familiarize yourself with first of all include:

You will need to familiarize yourself with all the subtleties and features of the process in advance. Especially if the teacher wants to voluntarily test his knowledge. Since only in this way it will be possible to avoid standard problems and difficulties. And also independently prepare all the necessary documents in this case.

Moreover, qualifications can be improved only in the case of a decision by a special commission. Its members evaluate competence. Also, when considering, the process of working with children is necessarily taken into account.

At the moment, there are many subtleties that are somehow related to paperwork. In the absence of mandatory verification, it may be refused.

What are the time frames

The latest changes in Moscow certification of teaching staff in 2019 relate specifically to the regional level. Do not forget that the legislation at the moment differs depending on the region in which the registration takes place.

The verification process itself should not be carried out less than once every 5 years. But this applies only to mandatory certification, and does not include situations where the employee does not fall under a certain category.

Also, the teacher has the right to pass this test on his own initiative. But again, there are some conditions. In some cases, it will be necessary to wait for some mandatory period of time.

Required documents

It is important to properly prepare all the necessary documents in this case. For example, when passing certification for the highest category, you will need to submit the following:

Actions in case of failure

Relatively rarely, but still it happens that the teacher for some reason could not pass the certification at the school. In this case, dismissal will take place on the basis of clause 3 of part 1 of article No. 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. Moreover, it is necessary to follow a special algorithm within which the procedure is carried out. Or it is possible to offer any other job that matches the qualifications of the employee.
