statement

I ask you to certify me in 201... for the first qualification category for the position of “educator”.
Currently I have the first qualification category, the validity period of which is from ... year to ... year.
I consider the following work results that meet the requirements for the highest qualification category to be the basis for certification for the qualification category specified in the application.
In my teaching activities I am guided by the following regulatory documents:
— the Constitution of the Russian Federation;
— Federal Law No. 273-FZ dated December 29, 2012, “On Education in the Russian Federation” (as amended on February 3, 2014), (as amended and supplemented, entered into force on May 6, 2014);
— UN Convention on the Rights of the Child;
— Family Code of the Russian Federation;
-Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation No. 1155 dated October 17, 2013. “On approval of the federal state educational standard for preschool education;
— Charter of MBDOU kindergarten No. ...;
— Job description of the teacher.
I consider the following to be the basis for certification for the specified category in the application.

I carry out the pedagogical process in accordance with the main general educational program developed and implemented at the preschool educational institution, based on the main general educational program of preschool education “From birth to school” edited by N. E. Veraksa, T. S. Komarova, M. A. Vasilyeva.
I own and apply in practice modern pedagogical, health-preserving and developmental technologies, which contributes to the proper organization of the educational process and allows me to rationally plan my teaching activities.
I consider the main objectives of my work to implement the content of the general education program of preschool educational institutions to be the preservation and strengthening of the health of preschool children, the formation of a general culture of children, ethical standards, prerequisites for educational activities, the development of physical, intellectual and personal qualities that ensure social success.

I achieve the goals of protecting children’s health and forming the foundations of a culture of health through the use of a set of health-improving measures:
— I conduct various types of gymnastics: morning, invigorating, breathing, acupressure;
— the group equipped a physical education corner, equipped with the necessary aids;
— I include dynamic and active games, sports exercises, and physical exercises in my work;
— I provide for an increase in the physical activity of children during a walk, depending on the weather conditions and time of year;
— I carry out hygiene and water procedures: deep washing, rinsing the mouth;
— I carry out an individual approach to children with poor health through rational regulation of activities, volume, intensity and content of activities;
— I use light-air baths and room ventilation; walks in the fresh air, ensuring temperature conditions;
Made by:
— card files of outdoor games, finger gymnastics, physical education lessons for children of senior preschool age in accordance with thematic planning;
— aids made from non-traditional material for the development of dexterity, accuracy, posture correction, and prevention of flat feet.
I use health-saving technologies, where the main emphasis is on developing in children the habit of taking care of their health and developing self-preservation motives.
An analysis of children's morbidity confirms the positive dynamics of work to protect and promote children's health (provide an analysis of morbidity for the inter-certification period).

To achieve the goals of the program, I create favorable conditions for a child to fully enjoy preschool childhood, and form the foundations of basic personal culture.
I consider the speech development of preschool children to be one of the important areas of my activity, therefore, since 201... I have been working in depth on the topic “Development of speech activity of preschool children in the process of theatrical activities.” The objectives of this work are: development of coherent speech in preschoolers through theatrical activities, improvement of dialogic and monologue forms of speech.
To successfully implement the assigned tasks, I have developed practical material:
1. Long-term planning on the topic: “Development of speech activity of preschool children in the process of theatrical activities” for different ages, which takes into account all types of children’s activities: play, cognitive, research, communicative.
2. Lesson notes on the topic “Development of speech activity of preschool children in the process of theatrical activities.”
3. Scenarios, scenes for dramatization, theatrical sketches, fairy tales, poems, nursery rhymes.
4. Methodological recommendations on the content and organization of theatrical activities for teachers and parents.
6. Card index of finger gymnastics based on fairy tales.

Socio-age characteristics of preschool children’s achievements (target guidelines) on the topic “Development of speech activity of preschool children in the process of theatrical activities”:
— show a steady interest in theatrical activities;
— initiative and independent in play, communication, creativity;
- have a developed imagination, which is realized in various types of children's activities;
- have a good command of oral speech and can express their thoughts and desires.

In accordance with the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard, the pre-school education updated the developmental subject-spatial environment. She designed a variety of play areas based on children's interests: a music center, a sports center, an environmental center, a theater and art center, and an experimentation area.
I provide the necessary conditions for self-realization of students with different levels of development in cognitive activity:
— developed long-term planning for the cognitive development of children in a preschool organization;
— developed a series of notes on cognitive development;
— prepared a series of consultations for parents and teachers on cognitive development;
— designed didactic games and manuals that promote cognitive activity and cognitive interest of preschoolers;
— created a library “Little Books”;
— I compiled a card index of proverbs, rhymes, sayings, and riddles.

Pedagogical observations show that children show interest and cognitive activity in research, constructive and communicative activities.
Under my leadership, the children of the group, together with their parents, actively participate in competitions and events held at various levels
(all events at which children performed must be presented).

I pay a big role to working with parents, as I believe that only joint activities produce positive results in the development and upbringing of children. I create conditions for the development of responsible and partnership relations with parents of students.
I use a variety of forms of work: parent meetings “Round Table”, “Let’s Play”, talk show “Question and Answer”, photo exhibitions, open days, conversations, consultations, surveys, visual and informational thematic folders, booklets. I organize sports activities with parents, holiday events, and involve them in organizing exhibitions of children’s drawings and participating in creative competitions.
Joint work with parents yielded the following results: parents provide assistance in setting up the group, creating attributes for games, take an active part in weekend events to improve and green the territory of the kindergarten, as well as joint participation in city events and competitions.

I systematically work to improve my teaching skills, actively participate in the work of pedagogical councils of preschool educational institutions, methodological associations of city teachers (seminars, workshops, teacher councils).
I actively share my work experience with teachers of preschool educational institutions, cities, and regions. (all events at which the teacher spoke must be presented).
In the 201... - 201... academic year, she was part of the creative group for developing a program for a preschool educational organization.
In the 201... - 201... academic year, as a member of the creative group “We Explore the World”, she participated in the development of lesson notes to familiarize children with living and inanimate nature, the man-made world and the history of the origin of objects.

Bella Gennadievna, good evening. Please tell me which self-education topic to take for the next inter-assessment period, which is more suitable for the highest category. There was a topic on creativity, but I want to move away from it. I will be grateful for your help!

Hello, Bella Gennadievna! Can I ask one more question: tell me how to correctly describe the work as a mentor. I have been working with young professionals for two years, I have developed a long-term plan, I help them not only in studying regulatory documents and conducting educational activities, but also in finding an approach to each parent, telling them how to build communication with them in order to avoid conflict situations.

• Tatyana, the easiest way to write reports is based on tasks (you will simply need to decipher and explain each task in the report). Your tasks could be:
  1. Formation of professional skills and abilities among young specialists in practical activities.
  2. Assistance in organizing a developing educational environment (software and methodological support, developing subject-spatial environment, modern principles of interaction with children, etc.)
  3. Methodological and psychological-pedagogical support for young specialists in organizing constructive interaction with parents of students.

  • Hello! I apologize, in my previous question I did not indicate that I need to describe the experience in the application for the highest category. Please tell me how to briefly and at the same time fully describe this work.

    • Tatyana, from the tasks that I wrote, the system of work comes out very well. You just need to modify them a little:
      1. I develop professional skills and abilities among young specialists in practical activities: I conduct master classes, trainings... (please add what you conduct)
      2. I provide pedagogical assistance in organizing a developing educational environment:
      - under my leadership, young specialists are developing software and methodological support: ... (write specifically - what plans. Programs, notes)
      — I help to enrich and replenish the developing subject-spatial environment.
      3. I provide methodological and psychological-pedagogical support to young specialists when organizing constructive interaction with parents of students: I teach methods of constructive interaction, ...
      In general, Tatyana, fill in the specifics: what you spent with them, developed, compiled.

      • Thank you very much!

Hello Bella Gennadievna.

I am delighted with the work of your site. Everything is structured, step by step you can find the answer to many learning questions. I purchased the book you recommended about teaching tips. I am happy that I have this book. I work in a kindergarten as an additional education teacher (English).
I am certified for the highest category, it is difficult what results I present. What to monitor? Can I base my observations on foreign language acquisition on the map?
I studied the technology in your book and can I apply it to my field of study (English). And what does it mean to represent experience in pedagogical organizations, i.e. in the form of a presentation? Help me please.

• Elena, thank you for such wonderful reviews about the site and the book! I answer your questions:
  1. Yes, you can have monitoring results based on the observation map. Be sure to indicate the author of this monitoring.
  2. If you can modify the technology and apply it to your field, then, of course, you can.
  3. Representing experience in pedagogical organizations means giving messages, reports, and master classes. It can be in the form of a presentation, or it can be without it.

  • Thank you Bela Gennadievna for the structured answers!

Hello, Bella Gennadievna. I have a problematic question, the administration of our garden cannot give an explanatory answer. We are all living people and sick leave situations happen. When I, a teacher, conduct classes instead of a physical education instructor (in our kindergarten there is a physical education instructor and an art instructor) due to their absence due to illness, are these cases considered interchangeable? And such a moment, the art instructor was in the garden at the workplace, but assisted in preparing for the “Teacher of the Year” competition on the instructions of the head, and as a result, instead of her, the teachers themselves conducted art classes - is this case interchangeable? Lately there have been frequent cases when, instead of our own group, the head asks us to go to another group where there is no teacher. I don’t go out to my group, but work a shift in someone else’s group, and my partner works alone. In my case, when I replace another teacher in another group, can we talk about interchangeability? This word “interchangeability” makes my head spin, please help me figure it out.

• Ella, I’ll tell you honestly - I’m not a big expert in such nuances. Here, of course, you need to ask a lawyer. As far as I know, the labor code contains such concepts as substitution, combination and part-time work. But there is no interchangeability. Yes, if there is interchangeability, then no additional payment is made.
  Look at this link, maybe you will find something for yourself.

  • Thank you very much!

Hello, Bella Gennadievna! I don’t know at all how to write an application for suitability for the position of “educator”. Work experience for one and a half years. Where can I look at more examples? In kindergarten, everything is complicated with corporate ethics. Who can I turn to for help? Initially, I work alone in the group. I master everything myself. Thank you in advance.

• Julia, I can write you an application, taking into account all the work you have done and the requirements of your region for the application. But it will be paid. I write about this on the “My Services” page

Life does not stand still and constantly makes new demands on the level of training and work suitability of workers. Any specialist must periodically be prepared to test his own professional skills. Teachers, educators and other workers in the education system are no exception.

Since January 1, 2011, the procedure in which the certification of kindergarten and school teachers took place has changed.

What happened?

As you know, there is mandatory and voluntary certification. The first task is to confirm the teacher’s suitability for the position he occupies. The second occurs when it comes to raising the qualification category.

According to the rules in force earlier, if a teacher wanted to increase his salary, he, on his own initiative, submitted an application requesting assignment to one of the categories - highest, first or second. This was done by the management of the child care institution or the educational management body.

Later, the second category was canceled as such. Certification began to be managed by educational authorities at the level of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation. The main thing: this procedure is now mandatory. Once every five years, absolutely all teachers, regardless of their work experience, regardless of their own desire, must take it to confirm their suitability for the position they occupy.

Who needs a category

Certification of a kindergarten teacher for the first category (or the highest) is optional. Those who want to receive it have the right to submit an application. Its purpose is for them to be certified. That is, they established the correspondence of the professional level of the categories. Any of them is assigned for a period of 5 years, then requires renewal in a similar manner.

If the teacher’s qualification is not confirmed in a timely manner, it is automatically reduced. What then?

A former employee of the first category will have to reapply for certification (in order to restore it).

What if he doesn't do this? In this case, among others, be certified to confirm compliance.

Anyone who has lost the highest will have to “go through” everything again. First, you will need certification of a teacher for category 1. And no earlier than after two years he will have the right to take the higher level.

Categories received before the specified date (01/01/2011) are valid until the end of the assignment period. But the old provision - after 20 years the second category remains forever - has now been abolished. These educators will also have to confirm their professional suitability every five years.

What is certification like?

Let's consider both of its types - mandatory and voluntary.

The first, as already mentioned, must take place once every five years. Its purpose is to confirm that the teacher is suitable for his position. All employees who do not have categories and have no desire to receive them are required to pass it.

Those holding a position for no more than 2 years, mothers on maternity leave and pregnant women are exempt from certification. The deadline for them will come no earlier than two years after the end of the leave granted to care for the child.

The employer submits the teacher for certification. If a teacher holds several positions in one institution at once, and is not certified in any of them, then it is possible for all of them at once.

If he works part-time in different places, then each employer is authorized to send him for certification.

How are documents submitted?

The application for a teacher is drawn up by the employer according to the established template. The document contains all the necessary certificates for the certification of a teacher, a detailed comprehensive assessment of the employee’s professional skills and the quality of his work in the position. In addition, there is information about all advanced training courses completed and the results of past certifications.

A month before the test, the teacher is introduced to the performance under signature. The documents are submitted by the employer to the certification commission of the relevant constituent entity of the Russian Federation, where its date, time and place are set. The duration of its completion should not be more than two months.

How does it go?

Certification of senior and other employees is carried out in accordance with the established procedure. During this process, to confirm their qualifications, subjects are subjected to written examinations or computer testing. Their goal is to identify the level of proficiency in professional methods of modern teaching, to confirm the valuable experience of working as a preschool teacher and the level of their own competence.

The decision made by the commission is drawn up in the form of a protocol and entered into the employee’s certification sheet. The latter is kept in the teacher’s personal file.

If the certification is completed successfully, the commission’s verdict is “corresponding to the position held.” Otherwise - “does not correspond”.

If you're unlucky

In the latter case, the employer has the legal right to terminate the contract with the employee, but is not obliged to do so. He may suggest that he take advanced training courses and then re-pass the certification.

Instead of dismissal, an employee can and should be transferred, with his consent, to another position (lower), if there is a vacancy. They also do not have the right to deprive a temporarily disabled person of work, a pregnant woman, a woman with children under 3 years of age, or a single mother with a child under 14 years of age or a disabled child.

Voluntary certification

It is organized to assign the first (or highest) category at the initiative of the employee and on the basis of his application. Its purpose is to establish compliance of the teacher’s qualifications with the requirements of the declared category.

Employees who do not yet have any have the right to apply for the first one. Or those whose validity period for the previously received 1st category is coming to an end. For higher education - those who received their first two or more years ago, as well as those wishing to extend their existing one.

An application for teacher certification is submitted by the teacher independently at any time. To ensure that the previous application does not expire during the period of its consideration, it is recommended to submit it in advance - 3 months in advance.

How to properly prepare documents

Their complete package must include an application for certification according to the sample, a previous certification sheet (photocopy) - if available, a completed new sheet, and a portfolio of achievements. There are methodological recommendations for compiling the latter.

Documents submitted to the certification commission of a local constituent entity of the Russian Federation are usually reviewed for about a month, then a place and date are assigned. It should only take place for a certain period of time.

Certification of preschool teachers is carried out in strict accordance with existing rules and regulations. What are the requirements for each qualification category?

Certification of a kindergarten teacher for the first category

The teacher must master modern educational technologies and be able to effectively use them in practice. Demonstrate the accumulated experience of working as a preschool teacher. Prove your own personal contribution to improving quality by improving the methods used. Show the results of students’ mastery of programs and the dynamics of achievements.

Certification for the highest category of teacher: requirements are growing

Requires the presence of the first qualification category, successful application in practice of new educational methods and technologies, demonstration of students' mastery of practiced programs. The results must be stable, and the dynamics of success indicators must be above the average level of the subject of the Russian Federation.

The teacher will have to demonstrate personal contribution to improving educational and educational methods, improving the quality of education. And also - mastery of new technologies and dissemination of personal professional experience.

Passage order

Certification of a kindergarten teacher for the first category, as well as for the highest, is carried out in a certain way. His professional achievements, presented in the form of a portfolio, are presented for examination.

Qualification testing takes place at a meeting of the certification commission, which is conducted both in the presence of the teacher and without his participation. A statement of intent to attend the discussion must be included in the certification application in advance. If after this, for some reason, he does not appear at the meeting, the commission has the right to consider his documents in absentia.

The decision made is recorded in the protocol, as well as in the employee’s certification sheet. After this, it is approved by a higher authority - at the level of the subject of the Russian Federation. The results (extract from the act of this body and the certification sheet) are transferred to the employer.

What then?

If the certification of a kindergarten teacher for the first category (or the highest) was successful, and a decision was made on compliance with the necessary requirements, the date of assignment of the corresponding category is considered the day the commission made the decision. From this moment on, teachers will also be paid at the new rate.

An entry indicating that a certain category has been assigned must be made in the work book.

In case of “failure” of certification, a decision “does not meet the requirements” is made. Then those applying for the first category are left without one and are required to be certified for suitability for the position they occupy.

Those who “did not pass” remain in the first category until the end of the current period. Then the teacher has the right to try again to “earn” the highest category, or he will have to confirm the first one.

Appealing the results of certification

The right to such an appeal is documented. This is done by submitting an application to the labor dispute commission or even to the court, and in the latter case it is important to do this within three months from the date of certification.

But in practice, such situations happen extremely rarely. As a rule, teachers submit documents for certification being thoroughly prepared - having thoroughly studied all the necessary requirements, preparing a competent and worthy portfolio and being completely confident in their own abilities.

Hello everyone, Tatyana Sukhikh here! Come on, admit it, whoever has a certification is on the nose, and you are rushing around, earning points, not taking part in anything for the sake of high results. Quite a familiar situation, I also came to my senses once when the rooster pecked. But now I’ve become smarter, and I’ll teach you how to make the certification for the first category a pleasure, and not drain the last of your strength.

So, you already know in advance that sooner or later you will be certified, but you are not particularly diligent in order to earn at least some certificates and diplomas for participating in competitions, and you do not take other steps that will lead you to easily passing the certification. But in vain. After all, in 2-3 years, without much effort, you can put together a portfolio that will allow you to easily submit all the necessary papers without the need for an open class at a preschool educational institution.

A teacher’s portfolio is something that should be continuously replenished, and you can only take part in what interests you and what you can do. And if you are lazy, then in the last months before the certification you will have to take on everything in a row, and this will already be stressful. There will definitely be no time left for family, believe me. Moreover, methodologists do not always help with the preparation of the necessary documents, so you will most likely have to prepare all the certificates yourself.

I will outline the requirements for certification a little later, but now I want to focus on what you can do now, when you still have time until the “X” moment.

Important preparation points

1. As I already mentioned, participate as much as possible in various competitions that you can do, both as a teacher and with your students. However, if competitions are not your thing, then choose a few of the most worthy ones (all-Russian or regional level) and invest in them to the maximum to get a good result (1,2 or 3rd place).
2. Try to publish your methodological developments for classes, event scenarios, some of your thoughts and conclusions about working with children and their upbringing. I have already written where this can be done. You can also try to publish in pedagogical periodicals in your field.
3. If possible, mentor a young teacher, become a member of the jury of a competition, or use modern teaching and educational technologies in your work.
4. You can also work on your program while you have time. Rework old paragraphs, supplement and expand in accordance with the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard. The topic of self-education should also be relevant.
5. If the time has come, you need to take advanced training courses. You can do this both online and in your organization by placing an order with the appropriate authorities. As a rule, if there are several such teachers in an institution, then the Institute for Advanced Studies can send lecturers to you for an appropriate fee. Or you can collect the required number of hours by watching webinars, if you like this option better.

The Internet can help you

This is exactly what I can offer and recommend to you: participation in offline webinars. Perhaps the topics presented below will be very useful and relevant, so I advise you to purchase the materials as soon as possible, and you can listen to them at any time convenient for you.

In the UchMag online store you can buy offline webinars on the following topics:

• “Content and structure of the professional standard of a teacher. Qualification characteristics of a teacher"(volume 4 hours)
• “Master class as an effective pedagogical technology for successful certification and improvement of professional competence”(volume 2 hours)
• Performance map preschool teacher: requirements and content" (volume 2 hours)
• Participation in an offline seminar “The certification procedure for teaching staff: a new approach”(volume 2 hours)

• Afonkina Yu.A. How can a teacher build effective preparation for certification: studying and assessing the competencies of a preschool teacher”.

This manual will help the teacher better prepare for certification. From it you will learn how to conduct professional self-analysis when compiling a portfolio, get acquainted with road maps for different areas of a teacher’s work, and in general you will prepare for this important event, taking into account the modern competency-based certification model, which will indicate your high professional level.

Certification is just around the corner

So, I hope that you are obedient students, and everything that I described above will definitely be performed at least to a minimum during the entire working period preceding the certification. Then, when the time comes to be certified, you will need to write an application, prepare a folder with your achievements and the necessary certificates and wait until it needs to be presented to a special commission.

You may have to make some inquiries yourself, for example, about the use of modern educational technologies in your work or something else. Or maybe you’ll be lucky and the methodologist will compose them himself.

That's all, you print out diplomas, certificates, certificates, put them in a folder, and the first category is practically in your hands. Of course, if after filling out the expert opinion table you do not have enough points, you will need to

1. or undergo test-monitoring of the level of development of professional competence of the type of activity being carried out
2. or host a training session or event

In most cases, this is enough to get the missing points.

How are points calculated? For each criterion and its subsection you can receive 0, 2, 3, 4 or 5 points. Some criteria have an additional coefficient, and then the result obtained increases in proportion to this coefficient, so the maximum score here can be quite large.

This point is relevant for the criterion where the results of children’s participation in competitions are summed up, as well as for advanced training in graduate school. In other cases, as noted above, you can score 0 points or from 2 to 5 points.

So, for example, if we take such a criterion as the level of ICT maturity of a teacher, then he receives 0 points if he does not own ICT and is not used in his work, 2 points - if he uses ICT to prepare for classes and maintain documentation, 3 points - the same as in the previous paragraph + use of ICT for generalization, 4 points - use, among other things, in analytical and methodological work, as well as the availability of CPD courses, 5 points - participation in Internet communities or having your own blog (site).

Criteria in accordance with Federal State Educational Standards

I offer you a list of criteria, i.e. what exactly needs to be prepared for certification, I will focus on the most important points on which your overall result will depend:

1. You must have an original educational program, which would preferably be approved at least at the municipal level, or at the regional level, which is even better. The presence of an adapted educational program for pupils with disabilities is welcomed and rewarded with additional points, and if it is implemented from 1 to 3 years, then the points increase for each year.
2. Your students must participate in various competitions, festivals, exhibitions, tournaments and competitions. Points are given for victories and prizes, as well as for participation, depending on the status of the event. The higher the status, the higher the scores. An additional coefficient is applied for prize places.
3. Having at least 5 years of work experience in a team with the title “Exemplary Children's Team” allows you to receive an additional 4 points.
4. As for advanced training, courses lasting 16 hours or more give you 3 points (this also includes the webinars I recommend, the hours of which are summed up), for courses of 48 hours or more - 4 points, and specialized courses above 108 hours - 5 points.
5. The use of modern educational technologies and methods is also very important. When using individual elements, depending on the level, you get 2 or 3 points, using in the system and applying effectively - 4 points, if you have your own system of techniques and methods - 5 points.
6. The presence of a holistic generalized experience and its generalization at the institutional level gives 2 points, at the municipal level - 3 points, at the regional level - 4 points, at the All-Russian level - 5 points. I think that each of you has your own achievements, even with little work experience. All that remains is to properly prepare and protect it, or conduct a master class, open lesson, etc.
7. The publication of teaching materials, both in online resources and in printed publications, is very important, but I have already spoken about this above and will not repeat it.
8. The teacher's social activities, including trade union and parliamentary activities, are also rewarded with points.
9. Gratitude, diplomas, certificates awarded to the teacher for professional achievements during the inter-certification period are also taken into account.
10. A teacher’s participation in competitions of professional skills, original programs, and methodological developments are assessed depending on the level of the competition.
11. An additional 20 points can be obtained for having an academic degree or academic title in the field of work, as well as for having state awards, honorary titles of the USSR, the Russian Federation or former republics of the USSR.
12. And if there are not enough points, then you can get 4 or 5 points for conducting a lesson or passing a test.

This is what a sample part of the score sheet looks like.

The government and expert communities are discussing the addition of the national project “Education”. It includes 9 major federal projects, including laying the foundations for a new approach to testing the professionalism of teachers. In particular, the All-Russian Popular Front proposes to abandon the current certification system and instead introduce a unified professional exam. And although the goals of testing the level of training of teachers will not change, the new exam will allow educators and teachers to build plans for their professional development, independent experts say.

The ONF emphasizes that the exam must meet the requirements of the professional standard of a teacher and the federal educational standards of general education.

It is unknown whether officials will agree to such a proposal, but now another experiment is taking place in the Russian Federation - a new model for teacher certification is being tested within the framework of the same national project “Education”. Its main difference is that teachers must undergo an independent qualification assessment based on the use of unified federal assessment materials. No portfolio, certificates or other materials proving that a specialist teaches children well will be needed. It is planned that certification will begin in 2020 using the new model. At the same time, the division into mandatory and voluntary will remain, and the frequency of inspections will not change.

What is the current time frame for certification?

The timing of the inspection depends on its type. Today, there are two types of testing for the qualifications of educators:

1. Certification of teaching staff in order to confirm compliance with the position held. It is mandatory and takes place within the time limits determined by the legislation of the Russian Federation. It must be carried out at least once every 5 years. This type is a test of professional suitability for the position held. According to clause 22 of the Certification Procedure, there are exceptions for certain groups of teachers.
2. Certification of teaching staff in order to establish a qualification category is voluntary and is carried out at the request of the employee himself in order to improve the existing category. This type is a test of professional suitability for promotion.

Please note that if the category is valid for 5 years, you can be re-tested after 2 years from the date of receipt of the previous category. In the event that an applicant is denied re-verification, he may apply again after 1 year from the date of the refusal.

It should be noted that, according to the regulations on the planned certification of teachers, the period for confirming compliance with the position held is 5 years. Consequently, in 2019, teaching staff certified in 2013 will be sent to it.

To undergo verification of suitability for the position held, the employee is sent by the head of the educational institution.

Please note that if the category is not confirmed on time, it will be cancelled.

• an employee who has the first category must apply for certification to receive the first category and go through the general procedure;
• if a teaching worker had the highest category, then he will first have to pass a test for the first category, and only after successful completion two years later will he be able to apply for the highest.

At the same time, qualification categories assigned before 01/01/2011 remain valid for the period for which they were assigned. However, the rule according to which a teacher who has worked in the profession for 20 years was assigned the second category “for life” is cancelled. From now on, these teachers will also have to be certified every five years.

Certification procedure

Mandatory

Testing for the professional suitability of preschool teachers is carried out every five years. Exceptions are made for persons who are excused from taking the test for valid reasons. These include:

• women who are pregnant. In this case, the test is carried out no earlier than two years after the teacher returns to work from maternity leave;
• employees with less than 2 years of work experience;
• employees who have spent more than 4 months on continuous sick leave. In this case, testing is recommended for them after 12 months after their return to the workplace.

The knowledge testing procedure consists of several stages:

1. Formation of the certification commission.
2. Preparing a list of those being certified and drawing up a schedule for the inspection.
3. Formation of an idea for each subject.
4. The procedure itself.
5. Estimation and presentation of results.

It is important to note that in previous years, teaching experience of 20 years or more was a guarantee of lifelong retention of the second category. Today this is not relevant. Certification of educators is also required to confirm qualifications.

Currently, the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation is developing new criteria for assessing the professional suitability of teaching staff:

1. Upon successful completion of the certification, the commission issues a conclusion on suitability for the position held.
2. If the test is unsuccessful, the commission makes a decision on inadequacy for the position held.

According to this decision, the employment contract with the teacher may be terminated on the basis of clause 3, part 1, art. 81 Labor Code of the Russian Federation. However, we note that a verdict of inadequacy for the position held does not require the mandatory dismissal of the teacher. An employer, for example, can send an employee who has not passed the certification to advanced training courses so that after completion he can take it again.

Also, a teacher cannot be fired in the case where there is a possibility of his transfer with his written consent to another, lower position or lower paid job. It will also not be possible to dismiss a teaching employee if he is included in the list of persons specified in Art. 261 Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

Voluntary

Any educator can express a desire to take the test to improve their level and submit an application independently.

The stages of voluntary verification include:

1. Verification of the submitted application.
2. Determining the deadline for passing the test. Please note that the inspection period cannot exceed 60 days from the start of the inspection until the decision is made.
3. Written notification to the applicant of the time and place of the inspection. Notification is sent within 30 days.
4. Subject's assessment.
5. Registration of inspection results.

It is important to note that the validity period of the category is 5 years. You can submit a request to test your professional knowledge after 2 years have passed after receiving the previous level. In the event that a candidate has been refused certification, a repeated request can be sent no earlier than one year after the refusal.

If the teacher successfully passes the certification, the commission makes a decision on the teacher’s compliance with the requirements for the first (highest) category. The qualification is assigned on the same day and the salary at the new rate is paid from the day the qualification is assigned. An entry is made in the work book about the corresponding category without mentioning the subject taught.

If the teacher was unable to pass certification, the commission makes a decision on non-compliance with the requirements. Those who passed for the first category remain without a category and are required to undergo testing for suitability for the position held.

If the teacher passed the test for the highest category, then in case of failure he will have the first one until its expiration date. After the end of the term, you will need to either confirm the first category or be certified for the highest.

The decision of the certification commission can be appealed in accordance with the “Procedure for certification of teaching staff.” An application for appeal can be submitted to the labor dispute commission at the regional education authority or to the court. An application to the court must be submitted before the expiration of 3 months when the employee learned of a violation of his right.

Currently I have the second qualification category, its validity period is until February 26, 2015.

I consider the following work results that meet the requirements for the first qualification category to be the basis for certification for the qualification category specified in the application.

I am proficient in information and communication technologies, I use them in practical activities to model the educational process. I create presentations, booklets, leaflets for successful work with children. I create visual information for parent corners and kindergarten stands. I edit films about the life of a kindergarten.

To maintain children's interest in the educational process, I systematically use technical teaching aids (music center, audio recordings, video recordings, DVD player, interactive games and toys, computer programs, etc.). For example, when working with children I use educational computer programs: “Baba Yaga - School on Chicken Legs”, “Soon to School. Fun Mathematics" (FEMP); " The Three Little Pigs O Tiv wolf. Learning the alphabet", "The ABC - how a mouse caught letters" (learning to read and write). The latest audio and video collections I have edited:

“Electrical appliances” (video).

The technical teaching aids I use make it possible to expand the range of informational, expressive, and artistic possibilities for children’s educational activities, enhance the impression of the material presented, and help build motivation in children.

I independently develop and use in the educational process demonstration and handout material in various areas of direct educational activity. Developed and designed visual aids, didactic games, diagrams, models, compiled card indexes of games, observations, gymnastics, game breathing exercises, relaxation. For example, some of my latest developments include:

“Game stretching”, “Invigorating gymnastics” (folders - collections).

The priority direction of my work is strengthening the health of children. In my teaching activities I use modern health-saving technologies: I organize optimal motor activity for children, various types of hardening, acupressure, breathing exercises, articulation exercises, finger exercises, physical education, dynamic breaks, corrective exercises after sleep, play stretching, music therapy, fairy tale therapy, aromatherapy. I provide health improvement for children using modern technical means: I use ionizers and air humidifiers. In order to preserve children's vision, I comply with SanPin requirements for the placement of children, lighting conditions, and use visual gymnastics. Together with parents, I organize entertainment (“In the Land of Health,” 2011), physical education holidays (“Olympiad,” 2012), competitions (“Russian Heroes,” 2012), health days and other health-improving events, which allows us to achieve stable reduction of colds, increases the effectiveness of the educational process. There has been a steady decline in cold incidence over the past three years (2.3%).

The projects I developed: “Playing Theater” (for children of senior preschool age) and “Development through perception” (for children of primary preschool age) are successfully implemented in working with children and have positive results and feedback from teachers and parents of students. These projects are aimed at the successful socialization of children, the formation of communication skills, and the development of cognitive activity.

From January 2010 to January 28, 2013, MADOU No. 215 was a regional experimental site in the direction of “Health-saving support of the educational process, as a condition for the implementation of the priority national project “Education”. Pupils from my preparatory group “Swallows” were members of the control group. My responsibilities included organizational support for experimental work and counseling parents.

As a result of interaction with parents in the educational process, the interest of both children and adults in the activities and life of the MADU has increased. Over the 4 years of work at MADO No. 215, there were no complaints from parents.

I systematically engage in self-education, study the latest in methodological literature, scientific articles on preschool education, and review specialized latest printed publications for colleagues. I am working on the topic of self-education: “Theatrical games as a means of developing children’s speech.” A long-term plan has been developed for this topic, and a selection of games and exercises has been created. Various types of theaters for children's games have been made: finger, glove, plane, mask, clothespin. The results of monitoring children's speech activity have proven the effectiveness of my work on speech development through theatrical games. Data for the 2011-2012 academic year:

the ratio of the levels of speech development of coherent speech in children at the beginning of the school year is high 15%, average 54%, low 31%;

the ratio of levels of speech development of coherent speech in children at the end of the school year is high 46%, average 54%, low 0%.
