Certification of teachers of additional education per year. Certification of teaching staff: new rules. What is the timeframe for certification now?

Teacher certification in 2017: recent changes

Recent changes in Federal law 273 "On Education in the Russian Federation" indicate that the certification of teachers in 2017 will take place in two stages. At the first stage, the teacher must confirm the suitability of the position held directly by his professional suitability. The next - the second - stage implies the reasonable assignment of educational institutions to the employee of the appropriate category. The qualification can be increased only in case of successful passing of the commission, whose members check the teacher's knowledge and skills on the spot, while determining his ability to communicate with children and treat them properly - as befits a teacher.

General provisions regarding the certification of pedagogical workers in Russia

New certification teaching staff in 2017 applies to all education workers without exception. Recall that at this point in time in Russia there are two types of certification at once: compulsory and voluntary. The first is those pedagogical workers who, at the request of the state, directly need to test their knowledge. The commission determines the level of solvency of a certain teacher, after which it makes a conclusion whether such a person is suitable for the country or not, that is, whether he corresponds to his position or simply takes someone else's place.

At the same time, voluntary certification will be of interest primarily to those pedagogues who pursue the goal of improving their current qualifications.

Mandatory certification: important information about this type of assessment of the teacher's solvency

Compulsory certification of teaching staff, starting in 2016, will be carried out for those who passed it 5 years ago. In 2017, teachers with an already existing qualification category and pregnant women are exempted from compulsory certification.

It should be noted that certification can be ignored by those teachers who have been serving in educational institutions for the last 2 years. Maternity leave gives you the right to qualify and prove your teaching competence after starting work. It is important to remember that at least two years must pass from this moment until certification.

Certification does not apply to those employees of educational institutions who, for various reasons, have been absent from the workplace for the last 4 months (and above this period). For them, certification becomes mandatory only after one calendar year, starting from the moment of their official return to work.

Voluntary certification: who is interested in this type of confirmation of teacher competence

Probably, every person (not only a teacher - any other specialist) wants to raise their qualifications to a higher level, with the goal of moving up the career ladder and improving. Such people who wish to improve themselves will be interested in voluntary certification. The new form of certification of teachers in 2017, in general, is in many ways similar to the already familiar order of affairs.

If we are talking about the field of education, then specifically a teacher, intending to improve his qualifications, must first turn to his superiors for help in solving this issue, and then write the appropriate application. The document follows in mandatory clarify that voluntary certification will be carried out in order to establish a new qualification category.

Voluntary certification will be interesting both for teachers without a category, and for those teachers who already have it, but at the same time, they still have room to grow.

To get the highest possible grade, you need to be a teacher who is not only determined, but also previously received the first grade. Note that at least two years should pass from that moment to the next increase.

At the same time, one cannot but say that highest category assigned to those teachers who already have one at all. In their case, they confirm their qualifications obtained earlier. Categories are issued for 5 years, after which they no longer require further renewal.

How does certification work?

Compulsory certification of teachers in 2017 in Russia is carried out under the supervision of a special attestation commission... Its composition is formed from representatives of the educational organization. The head, who confirmed the order on the appointment of the commission, approves the composition: chairman, deputy, secretary and other members of the commission. On the appointed day, a meeting of the commission is held.

Voluntary certification involves the prior submission of an application from the employee himself. It indicates his position and current category. The commission will check the teacher's knowledge on the appointed day.

Verification of the application can take up to 30 days, after which the commission's conclusion is issued. The duration of the attestation, including the issuance of the final decision of the commission, is no more than 60 days.

Results of the performed certification

If the teacher partially or completely disagrees with the decision of the commission, he has the opportunity to challenge the conclusion received in court. Another option is to create a special labor dispute commission. To challenge the results, the teacher has 90 days from the date of issue of the conclusion.

On the other hand, if the results of the certification are largely satisfactory to the employee educational institution, he himself, in this case, having returned to workplace and presenting the conclusion of the commission to the chief, he may demand a raise in salary.

They were implemented last year and continue to operate this year. Changes in the certification of teaching staff in 2017 will affect many teachers of preschool, secondary and higher educational institutions.

Recent changes in the certification of teachers in 2017

A new approach to assessing the knowledge of teachers in 2017 will affect all representatives of this field. Innovations in the law of the Russian Federation 273 allow a completely different attitude to certification, which will now be carried out in two stages:

• attestation of the appropriateness of the position(the quality of the competencies should be sufficient for effective work, the ability to interact with children is checked, the existing level of the category is determined);
• raising the level of qualifications(This opportunity is given to teachers after a positive result of passing the first stage of the test).

Now in Russia, teachers are assigned the first and highest category. Applicants for the first can be certified for the first time or have an expired term of the same category.

New regulations and rules

Now in the Russian Federation there is obligatory and voluntary varieties of the assessment exercise. The first type is carried out state actors in order to determine the degree of the teacher's solvency, his compliance with the position held, and the second - on a non-compulsory basis at the request of the employee.

Teachers who were certified 5 years ago are subject to mandatory competence assessment. Those who already have a category or are in a position are removed from it.

List of official papers

The order and place of submission of documents for passing the check was changed. Previously, teachers whose goal was to improve their pedagogical skills or to assign a category would submit an application in their area. Now the higher educational institutions of the state level are responsible for the implementation of the "inspection" of knowledge.

Below is a list of documentation that must be provided to those who are going to undergo the verification procedure:

• a statement signed in person;
• a copy of the previous certification sheet (if passed);
• copy of the diploma;
• a copy of the sheet on the acquisition of a qualification category;
• professional portfolio illustrating work achievements;
• a copy of additional documents necessary to confirm the truth and consistency of the data (for example, when changing the surname);
• it is advisable (but not necessary) to attach a testimonial from the workplace or transmittal letter describing the qualities of the educator in the context of his work.

Within a month's term, the person who submitted the request will receive a notification at the specified address. It will inform you of the date and time at which the certification event is scheduled.

Who might be interested in voluntary certification?

The voluntary form should attract the attention of those educators who consciously strive to raise their level with the aim of self-improvement, self-realization and professional advancement. The new inspection procedure in 2017 has similar features to the one that existed before.

A representative of the educational sphere of functioning, who has shown a willingness to subject his teaching skills to an optional form of testing, should first contact his boss on this issue in order to write the necessary petition. It must indicate the pursued goal of passing the test (establishing a new category, confirming the existing one).

This form can be of interest both for teachers without a category, and with it, but who have not yet exhausted their career opportunities. To obtain the highest grade, you need to have the first category, and also be well prepared in terms of skill.

How is certification carried out?

The passage of compulsory certification in 2017 is controlled by a special one, consisting of authorized members of an educational organization. Who is included in it is decided by the leading person who confirmed the order on its formation and composition. The manager must submit a list of employees subject to control.

If a desire to undergo an optional assessment procedure is revealed, the application is written by the employee himself. He should indicate the position held and the presence (absence) of the category. Within a month, the application will be checked, after which the date of testing the teacher's experience will be determined. The duration of the procedure itself (taking into account the moment of the decision) is up to 60 days.

There are times when an employee does not agree with the announced outcome. He has a chance to challenge it within 90 days in one of two ways:

• go to court;
• to form a special council to resolve labor disputes.

Having received a satisfactory final answer, the teacher, having taken up his duties, has the legal right to demand an increase in his salary.

Preparation for certification for professional suitability

Previously, it was enough to prepare children for an open lesson, to find “ mutual language»With representatives of the certification committee, etc. Now the process has become more complicated, the set of requirements for the auditors has increased, which must prove to the verification group that they have the right to carry out their teaching service, and the degree of their awareness fully corresponds to it.

Attestation for compliance with the position held is an important incident in the professional life of every teacher. Therefore, you should prepare for it with great responsibility in order to be able to fully reveal your potential and shine with awareness of your business. These are the criteria that the commission uses to assess the level of professional suitability.

During the inter-certification period, an educational worker is obliged to take care of improving his own level of competence in all available ways (take additional courses, conduct lectures, seminars, participate in various competitions, olympiads, etc.). The fruits of professional activity must be recorded in your pedagogical portfolio of achievements.

No less stimulating to successfully pass the test, and, therefore, to carry out the necessary, high-quality training, is the fact of an increase in salary if the test is passed successfully.

Execution of certification for compliance with the position held

In 2017, every employee in the educational sphere is subject to verification of compliance with the workplace. It will not affect those who fall under the following statements:

• “Newly minted” who have worked in their place for no more than 2 years;
• staying on maternity leave (after leaving which one must work for at least 2 years to be able to undergo certification steps);
• who have not worked in their place for more than 4 months (they are allowed to "revise" knowledge only after a year of returning to the workplace);
• pregnant women.

If necessary, the above subjects have the right to write an application for passing optional, if it coincides with their career interests and benefits.

The updated rules of verification actions pursue the task of assessing the compliance of a particular specialist with a job position. In case of non-confirmation of competence, he is replaced by a suitable candidate.

Certification actions can be carried out without a participant. In order to be present at the announcement of the results, a request for this must be submitted along with the main documentation.

Regardless of the presence of the subject during the issuance of the conclusion, the commission forms a protocol. It records the estimated results, personal data of the auditee and other necessary information... The result of the verification event is entered in the certification sheet. With a positive decision, there is a confirmation of the correspondence of the teacher's competence to the position held by him.

New order certification of teaching staff implies more expenditure of time and power resources for training. Perhaps not everyone will like it, which will force some, first of all, the “old-timers”, to prematurely terminate the teaching business.

It is possible that such a check may frighten young candidates who are unsure of their ability to work. In order not to worry in vain, it is necessary to focus on premature preparation. You can agree or disagree with the innovations, but if you are determined to develop and grow in your field of activity, it is important to simply accept them and start the required preparatory activities.

The appraisal of educators is considered a regular and rigorous procedure. Recently, the procedure for certification of teachers has changed slightly. The main goal of checking the professional level today is to improve the quality of education in the country. How to check if an employee's qualifications meet the professional standard? What is the essence of the procedure?

A certification of teaching staff is carried out in order to confirm the conformity of employees to their positions on the basis of an assessment of their professional activities.

For Russian teachers, modern rules provide for two types of attestations: compulsory and voluntary.

Mandatory certification applies to all teachers and ensures that the level of education that is already available is maintained.

With the help of voluntary - the teacher can achieve an increase in their qualifications, as well as professional growth. Voluntary certification will be of interest, first of all, to those employees who pursue the goal of increasing wages.

According to the Deputy Head Federal Service on supervision in the field of education and science Anzor Muzaev, such measures are aimed at reducing the number of weak teachers.

The results of examinations of the CDF and USE showed that some teachers overestimate the marks. Anzor Muzaev believes that the reason lies in the teacher's insufficient knowledge.

The predicted validation model will consist of three blocks:

• examination knowledge by subject;
• examination teaching skills;
• examination psychological characteristics.

This model, according to officials, can determine the level of knowledge of the teacher, as well as his ability to present material. It is already known that such certification of teachers will be held every four years.

Note that such an attestation model is still under development. However, many provisions are already causing discontent among teachers. For example, when certifying employees, they want to enter the writing of an essay, but at the same time there is no confidence in an objective assessment, since there are no clear criteria.

And most importantly, if the teacher does not pass such certification, Rosobrnadzor proposes direct it to

Despite the tightening of legislative changes, it is hoped that such an approach to the selection of teachers will help improve the quality of education in general.

You will find even more materials, including samples of the necessary local acts (Regulation on certification, Order on the creation of a certification commission, etc.), in the Directory system.

By 2020, it is planned to complete the implementation of the professional standard "Teacher". Professional standard makes new requirements for teaching staff, therefore, the certification procedure is changing teaching staff.

How will legislative changes affect certification?

On January 1, 2017, the law "On independent assessment of qualifications" came into force, approved by Order of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated November 1, 2016 No. 601n. In July of this year, the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation approved an action plan for the formation and introduction of a national system of teacher growth - a "road map". The adoption of such steps indicates the interest of the state in the professional growth of teaching staff.

A webinar was held on September 6 "Certification of teaching staff in the context of the introduction of professional standards", where teachers discussed the impact of these regulations on the certification procedure for compliance with the position held and advanced training.

The webinar was conducted by Olga Vladimirovna Berezhnova, Candidate of Philology, Associate Professor, Head of the Department of Development of Educational Systems, BU OO DPO "Institute for Education Development".

- First of all, I would like to say that now everyone needs to understand very well what is happening in the education system, what new directions we see with you and what we are all participating in,- Olga Berezhnova began her speech with this parting word.

The world is changing rapidly and is characterized by constant updating of information, therefore, teachers are required to constantly improve their knowledge. Continuous self-education becomes a decisive factor in the development of the teacher's personality on the professional path.

Teachers from Abakan, Lesosibirsk, Tyumen and other Russian cities reviewed the legal framework for the introduction of educational and professional standards and discussed the requirements for teaching staff.

Legal framework for the introduction of the professional standard "Pedagogue"

Pedagogical workers of preschool educational institutions and professional standards

Each specialization has its own professional standard:

• Educator - professional standard "Teacher" (Order of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated October 18, 2013 No. 544n);
• Instructor for physical culture- professional standard "Instructor-Methodist" (Order of September 8, 2014 No. 630n);
• Educator-psychologist - professional standard "Educator-psychologist" (Order of July 24, 2015 No. 514n);
• Educator additional education- professional standard "Teacher of additional education for children and adults" (Order of September 8, 2015 No. 613n).

Berezhnova noted that in job descriptions, work books and other papers, positions are prescribed clearly, as in the professional standard, without the additions: not “teacher of additional education on fine art", But simply" teacher of additional education "," teacher-organizer "and so on. The accuracy of the wording is needed so that the employee does not have any difficulties in passing the certification.

New certification procedure

At present, the certification system includes confirmation of compliance with the position held and the establishment of a qualification category based on the teacher's portfolio, that is, without uniform assessment criteria.

The National Teacher Growth System offers a different model of certification in a uniform format.

The subjects of the Russian Federation themselves choose the option for carrying out certification:

• the current format, but taking into account the requirements of the professional standard;
• Unified federal assessment.

But Olga Berezhnova believes that in the end everyone will be required to pass the ETF certification.

This model can be applied not only to school teachers, but also to preschool educators, since there is a single professional standard "Teacher" for teachers and educators. But if an employee does not have special education, then he cannot pass certification.

Is it possible to fire an employee without special education?

No, you can't fire. If the employee does not meet the professional standard, then the manager offers him another position or retraining. If the employee does not have a preschool education, but he wants to work in kindergarten, then he takes additional vocational education courses in the direction of OO activities, retraining, enters a bachelor's or master's degree. Also, such an employee can undergo an independent qualification assessment.

Law "On independent assessment of qualifications" entered into force in January this year.

An independent assessment of qualifications is expected to help:

• an employee - to conduct an independent assessment of his qualifications to confirm its compliance with the professional standard, to plan further training or career;
• to the employer - to provide the organization with qualified personnel and plan the training of employees.

It is believed that an independent assessment will stimulate workers to professional growth. The national system of teacher growth assumes the possibility of professional growth of a teacher along a horizontal and vertical model.

The teacher can perform three generalized labor functions A, B and C. OTF A includes three labor functions:

• A1 - professional activities for the education and upbringing of children in accordance with the Federal State Educational Standard and the main educational program;
• A2 - interaction with the parents of the pupils;
• A3 - interaction with colleagues.

The horizontal career of an educator

If the teacher only performs professional activity- A1, then he will have the position of educator or teacher. A1 is the correspondence to the position held. If the educator confirms that he is interacting with the parents, then he can apply for the first qualification category. If a teacher conducts seminars, workshops and participates in various conferences - interacts with colleagues, then he gets the opportunity to reach the highest qualification category.

Vertical Career Career

If a teacher masters function B, then he can be called a senior educator. The senior educator performs fully OTF A and OTF B. If the educator also performs function C, then he can become a leading educator.

- That is, all job responsibilities will be rewritten,- Concludes Berezhnova. - And three positions are no longer just an educator, but an educator, a senior educator and a leading educator. We have never had anything like this in the preschool education system - the leading educator.

Participants' questions

The topic turned out to be topical for the webinar participants, and the teachers bombarded the expert with questions.

OTF S - does the educator work with children in the group as the main educator, or is this a position?

He works as an educator. The word educator implies working with children. But besides working with children, there may be other functions that he performs. And if he performs these functions additionally, then he can then be either a senior or a leading educator, depending on what functions are assigned to him.

For teacher primary grades, working as an educator in a preschool educational institution, are there enough refresher courses or is professional retraining necessary?

In accordance with current legislation, teaching in primary grades is included in the cluster "Education and Pedagogical Sciences", that is, it is one and the same area of ​​training. In accordance with the professional standard, this person can work in the education system, in this case - preschool.

The teacher is included in the cluster "Education and Pedagogical Sciences", but since he does not have special preschool education, he needs additional professional education in the direction of activities in an educational organization - advanced training at least once every three years.

Each educational organization prepares a plan for organizing the application of professional standards in the organization. The plan indicates:

• a list of professional standards to be applied;
• information about the needs of employees in vocational education;
• stages of application of professional standards;
• a list of local regulations that are subject to change taking into account the provisions of professional standards.

The plan prescribes certification procedures for compliance with the position held, certification, qualification assessment, development job responsibilities etc. All activities must be completed by January 1, 2020.

And what will change in the work of schools with the release of the new FSES SOO? You can find out the answer to this question at the International Design Training Seminar "Implementation of FGOS SOO" , which will take place on July 23-26. Come to our training seminar and you will receive all the necessary tools and recommendations for the transition to the new standard.

Educational workers, namely, teachers in universities, schools, kindergarten teachers, as well as specialists in primary and secondary institutions already know that from 2017 some changes will be made in the certification process. Simply put, certification of teachers (2017) will take place according to completely different rules and regulations.

Many people know that any employee from the field of pedagogy must undergo re-certification every 5 years. This procedure is necessary in order to improve the skills and knowledge of teachers, as well as to understand whether the person corresponds to the position held (whether he has all the necessary skills for it). Anyone who has ever encountered this test assures that it is the most responsible and significant for all workers in the education sector.

• Firstly, the commission must see 100% preparation of the certification participant, before it he must reveal all the baggage of knowledge and skills. In addition, it is often required to prove pedagogical professionalism and resourcefulness. It is these criteria that can help the commission determine the qualifications of the teacher and give him marks.
• Secondly, the successful completion of certification allows an education worker to expect a higher salary. This is quite a significant incentive for professional growth and new achievements.

General information

There are two types of pedagogical certification: voluntary and compulsory. Let's take a closer look at each of the types.

Mandatory certification in 2016-2017 will “capture” all teaching staff who passed it 5 years ago. The following are exempted from mandatory verification:

• pregnant women;
• teachers with a qualification category;
• workers who are “newbies” in education, i.e. worked for only 2 years;
• persons in maternity leave at the time of the knowledge test (they will be certified 2 years after returning to their legal place of work);
• a teacher who is absent from work for more than 4 months due to illness (certification will need to be passed one year after the official exit to work).

Voluntary pedagogical certification is passed by persons who, of their own free will, want to improve their qualifications. To do this, you must refer to the manual with a corresponding statement. Note that teachers who do not have a category or have acquired a 1st grade can be promoted to 1st grade. To get the highest rank, you need to earn the 1st category at least 2 years ago. In addition, if the teacher already has the highest category, he can confirm it by voluntary certification.

New regulations and rules

With the onset of 2017, everyone will need to familiarize themselves with the innovations that have affected pedagogical certification... The new verification is expected to be based on two main phases:

• confirmation of suitability for the position held;
• getting a higher category.

Each of these stages has distinctive features and features:

1. Confirmation of suitability for the position held. During this part of the test, the commission should appreciate and test the knowledge, skills and abilities of the teacher. In addition, in the process of verification, professionalism and methods of communication with children during study are determined. Simply put, at this stage, the members of the commission establish the professional suitability of the teacher, namely, whether he has the right to engage in teaching.
2. Obtaining a professional qualification category. In 2017, the teacher will have the right to apply for 1 or higher category. However, to qualify for the first category, an employee must meet the following criteria:

1. have a second qualification category;
2. have the first, but the time has come for passing the certification.

If the goal is to get the highest category, he must fit according to other conditions:

• have the first category for two years;
• have the highest category, but the time has come for passing the attestation check.

Documents for certification

The officials also changed the list of documents required to start passing the pedagogical certification in 2017. Let's remind, earlier the employee had to simply write the application - at this stage the registration ended. Now it happens a little differently, because the main responsibility is on the shoulders educational institutions at the level of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

List of required documents:

1. Personal signature statement
2. A copy of the result from the previous certification (if any)
3. Copies of diplomas of higher or secondary vocational pedagogical education
4. A copy confirming the presence of the highest or first category of attestation (if such was previously obtained)
5. A copy of the documents confirming the change of surname, if it has been changed
6. A specially composed cover letter or a detailed description from the place of work, which can confirm the level of competence and professional activity.

A month after the submission of documents, the applicant will receive a letter at his home address with detailed description place and time of certification.
