Believe that they know WHAT and HOW to do even without your instructions, instructions, controls.
So why should a teacher do it for free?
Then, perhaps, it would be worth the call to "protect the teacher" to focus on:
a) improving the remuneration of teachers: to pay them not only for conducting lessons, but also for the fact that they create this educational environment (which in some respects is much more difficult and responsible than conducting lessons);
b) introduction of an objective system of evaluation of teachers’ work and, as a result, move from its payment on the principle of "equal for all" to "payment for the results of everyone’s work".

School principals do not need to be led in pairs or form, give them the opportunity to work |
I. Likarchuk: our officials suffer from narcissism
Author: Igor Likarchuk, former head of the Ukrainian Center for Educational Quality Assessment, and. at. Director of the Training and Methodological Center for Quality Assurance in Education.
It seems to me that our local education officials have fallen ill with narcissism en masse. I can’t explain to others their posts on FB about the meetings they held. Who cares, other than themselves?
No wonder one wise man once said the winged words: "No one has ever held a meeting that would be of real use."
These scoundrels can’t understand one thing: school principals don’t need to be led in pairs or uniforms, like children in kindergarten … Give them the opportunity to work.
Believe that they know WHAT and HOW to do even without your instructions, instructions, controls. And they know better than you.
And it will be much better for them if all of you (officials) disappear somewhere. And you will not disturb them with your meetings, orders, instructions … Because most of them have a place only in the trash.

No one has repealed the provision banning the distraction of teachers from the educational process |
Igor Likarchuk: when do teachers hold lessons?
Author: Igor Likarchuk, former head of the Ukrainian Center for Educational Quality Assessment, and. at. Director of the Training and Methodological Center for Quality Assurance in Education.
I read the news and can’t understand: WHEN do teachers teach?
If the Internet is full of messages about meetings, seminars, webinars, trainings, meetings, boards, etc.
It seems to me that the norm of the law on the prohibition of distraction of teachers from the educational process has not been repealed …
Instead, Methodists and officials seem to be competing with each other: who will come up with and hold more such meetings …
And so it will be until at least one of the organizers is prosecuted for violating the law.
But who will attract and what is the mechanism of this attraction is unknown.
This is our irresponsible law. What do they enjoy …

Why EIT should be a means of discrimination for socially different categories of applicants |
I. Likarchuk: ZNO as a means of discrimination of entrants
Author: Igor Likarchuk, former head of the Ukrainian Center for Educational Quality Assessment, and. at. Director of the Training and Methodological Center for Quality Assurance in Education.
You will probably laugh, but while driving, I listened to the broadcast … of the Verkhovna Rada session. The bill on granting children deprived of parental care the right to enter universities without passing an external examination was discussed.
The high-ranking official, the Deputy Minister of Social Policy, said terribly that this decision was an important step towards the implementation of European norms of social protection for this category of the population. Where did she find something similar in Europe ???
The chairman of the parliamentary committee said that this applies only to "several tens of thousands" of entrants … A serious argument ??? It seems to me that the Deputy Minister of Social Policy has not understood how social benefits differ from the equal right to enter universities on a competitive basis, guaranteed by the Constitution …
As for "only a few tens of thousands", for some reason no one asked the author of these words: why EIT should be used as a means of discrimination for socially different categories of applicants: in this case – for those who belong to other "tens of thousands" of prosperous families.
Does the principle work here: if you are lucky enough to live in a prosperous family, then pass the external examination, and if not in a prosperous one – then the entrance exams …
Granting the right to entrants deprived of parental care to take entrance exams instead of external evaluation is discrimination against those who live in normal families.
Theater of the Absurd. Instead of creating appropriate financial conditions for applicants who are deprived of parental care for higher education, we create different conditions for them to enter universities than others.
Today, becoming a university student is not a problem. The number of universities and open licenses in them is much larger than the number of potential applicants. It is not the entrants who run after the university, but the universities that run after the entrants.
But no one thinks about the fact that after admission to study an entrant who has become a student needs money, and a lot, to live and study … This was not discussed at the meeting of the Verkhovna Rada …
I did not listen to the discussion until the end. Road situation. But out of the corner of my ear I heard that the deputies did not vote for this project. I hope I heard the right information.
P.S. Remind me if I forgot. When there was no external evaluation, and there were only entrance exams to universities, which categories of applicants were exempted from taking them? I don’t remember that … Even then, the competition for all universities went beyond scale. At my East faculty in pedagogical institute there were 5 people for one place …

There have never been so many invitations to teachers to take part in paid trainings |
I. Likarchuk: when there is demand, should there be supply?
Author: Igor Likarchuk, former head of the Ukrainian Center for Educational Quality Assessment, and. at. Director of the Training and Methodological Center for Quality Assurance in Education.
Never before have I seen so many different invitations to teachers to take part in various trainings, seminars, modules, etc. And in the vast majority to take part not just like that, but for money …
It seems to be good when a teacher seeks knowledge … And here even in schools they require that there be certificates of completion of some "training" "
I understand that when there is demand, there must be supply. But has anyone ever analyzed the meaning of what is being said during such "exercises"? Who are those who set out to teach teachers? Do good ads agree with what really happens during training? And will we not have in schools the spread of unknown and even harmful practices that may be imposed on teachers during such training?
It reminds me a lot of a situation when a person wears a T-shirt with the print "I am a sex instructor", although in fact he has the knowledge and skills of sex at the level of the backyard. Or Kashpirovsky’s mass hypnosis sessions or Chumak’s charging of water with the help of a TV set. And isn’t it time to stop the spread of such pedagogical quackery?
P.S. This post is written after communicating with people who are very involved in such, so narrative topic sentence to speak, business. And the questions I posed didn’t just happen.

A good school has always prepared its graduates for employment, without calling it STEM education |
I. Likarchuk: topic of discussion – STEM education
Author: Igor Likarchuk, former head of the Ukrainian Center for Educational Quality Assessment, and. at. Director of the Training and Methodological Center for Quality Assurance in Education.
The second topic of my discussion with Professor Sh., Which I wrote about in my blog on March 1, was STEM education.
I will not describe all the details, but when my counterpart began to sow the words: "tutor, facilitator, maker", defining the role of a teacher in STEM, I asked him only the following: "And how does a tutor differ from a real tutor or teacher who found and finds an individual approach to each student, actually implementing an individual educational program? And for free. How is a facilitator different from a good teacher, who has long successfully organized student work in groups by ensuring successful group communication? But he receives the same salary as someone who did not know about these group communications, does not know and does not want to know. How does a teacher-maker differ from thousands of teachers who were and are a kind of "self- made ": they know how to do something with their hands and involve students in it, doing with them what was previously called scientific and technical creativity? And again – doing it for free …"
I am sorry that my counterpart, dear Professor Professor Sh., Did not want to answer these questions. I know that the answer to them does not reveal all the problems of STEAM-education, "as preparing students for extracurricular activities and employment."
By the way, a good school has always prepared its graduates for this, without calling it STEM education …
I want to be wrong, but for some reason it seems to me that in our education it is not the novelty of the problem and the novelty of approaches to its solution that become fashionable, but the borrowed novelty of the conceptual apparatus and the ability to do what is popularly called "slapping the tongue" ….

The DPA falsifies the real state of quality of general secondary education in Ukraine |
I. Likarchuk: The DPA shows that everything is good in education
Author: Igor Likarchuk, former head of the Ukrainian Center for Educational Quality Assessment, and. at. Director of the Training and Methodological Center for Quality Assurance in Education.
I read the news that final exams in schools have been canceled in Georgia. For those who do not know, I will explain that graduation in Georgia is an analogue of our STA. I fully support my Georgian colleagues. He wrote and said a long time ago that the Ukrainian STA should also be abolished and forgotten as a nightmare. My arguments in favor of such a decision.
1. The STA was and is a completely formal procedure. She has never shown and will never show an objective overview of the level of implementation of the curriculum.
