DEVELOPMENT OF EDUCATION MANAGER’S PROFESSIONALISM

Abstract

Modernization processes in the sphere of modern Russian education actualize the need to train education managers capable of professional management of innovative development of educational systems. The existing continuous pedagogical education in Russia does not provide for systematic training of education managers to manage the development of educational systems (headteachers, their deputies, methodologists, specialists of education management bodies). Additional professional education (institutions of advanced training and retraining of teachers) partially tries to solve this problem, but the level of this training cannot be sufficient in connection with the new challenges of modernization of education and the development of innovative management technologies. The constantly changing municipal educational space of the region, accompanied by growing needs for the expansion of educational services, makes new demands on educational institutions not only in the preparation of graduates in new specialties, but also in the training of education managers capable of designing innovative development of the educational system. The content foundation of the development system of education manager’s professionalism are: creative development of the theory and experience of domestic pedagogical culture, understanding of traditions and prospects of development of the education system; predicting, designing and implementing innovative changes in the training of education managers to innovations in specific educational institutions.
