Abstract

The article considers the established in official documents and recommendations governing educational policy, as well as the distribution of functional responsibilities and tasks of the management of these educational organizations in the practice of schools in Russia and a number of foreign countries. It has been revealed that the functional composition of the requirements for the work of school management in different countries largely coincides, and as perspective tasks aimed at the development of schools, there are tasks of quality management of learning results. However, Russian school administrators underestimate the role and possibilities of creating in-school systems of distributed leadership and responsibility for the work of the school to solve these tasks. The mechanisms of creation of such management teams in our country are in the stage of formation, although these tasks are set in the leading documents defining the directions of development of the education system in Russia, in the professional standard «Head of educational organization». Possible solutions should be sought in redistribution of the functions of deputy school principals in accordance with the tasks of the school, in the distribution of responsibilities among leading specialists-leaders, in the search for a new functional public school councils, school board of trustees. Another important direction in the search for mechanisms to solve the problem of training school management teams to manage the quality of learning results is the improvement of their competences in the field of ownership of the results of modern research and development in the field of pedagogy, development of curricula, evaluation and accountability systems, in the field of national policy in general, and education policy in particular, in the field of motivating educational participants to achieve a common goal. The development of the capacity of the school management team is also facilitated by targeted leadership development of each of its members.
