Literature, television and cinema no longer compete, but help each other. Literature is the territory of personal taste, personal choice and personal freedom: it is unacceptable to impose a “mandatory” average taste and lists consisting of outdated texts that are alien to modern children. At the same time, the textbook should become the key to literary secrets.

According to the Federal State Educational Standard, the level of qualifications of employees must meet the requirements specified in reference books and (or) professional standards for the relevant position.

However, the requirements for the qualifications of teaching staff contained in the Federal State Educational Standard, in professional standards (qualification reference books) and the Federal Law “On Education in the Russian Federation” do not always coincide. How to resolve existing contradictions?

Who will be interested? Heads and deputy heads, teachers, employees of methodological services and educational authorities.

“The lack of attention to the assessments that students give to their teachers should be a matter of particular concern” (D. Hattie).

The introduction of new educational standards was supposed to change the lesson: the traditional lesson with its “average” and “knowledge-based” approach to teaching was supposed to be replaced by a lesson based on the principles of individualization and developmental learning.

For this purpose, numerous advanced training courses, conferences, seminars, and teacher councils were held, in which hundreds of thousands of teachers were involved; Various experimental sites came into operation, and the state allocated significant funds for the purchase of expensive equipment.

Could such significant intellectual and material efforts change the lesson? Partial answers to this question are provided by the results of a study conducted by members of the “Commonwealth of Schools of Student-Centered Education of the Russian Federation.”

The authors of the album deliberately tried to move away from value judgments of both historical figures and events, presenting on its pages primarily the opinions of contemporaries. Right, left and center, politicians, artists and ordinary people - all of them are represented in one way or another on the pages of this publication.

The wide range of published illustrations is a reflection of a difficult historical era, almost unfamiliar to the modern reader from this side.
