MONITORING OF MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES OF THE HEAD OF AN INSTITUTION OF PRESCHOOL EDUCATION

Abstract

The article presents the results of monitoring the activity of the head of a preschool education institution. The purpose of the article is to present the results of monitoring the activity of the head of an institution of preschool education
The goal was realized in the following tasks: 1) to define and substantiate the criteria for evaluating the activity of the head of a preschool education institution as one of the conditions for ensuring the quality of preschool education; 2) to describe the results of monitoring the activity of the head of the preschool education institution. To solve the above-mentioned problem, the following methods were used: analysis of pedagogical documentation; methods of pedagogical diagnostics (teacher questionnaires, surveys).
To monitor the managerial activity of the head of a preschool education institution, a diagnosis was developed according to four criteria: 1 – the formation of the development strategy of the preschool education institution (quality activity of the institution is impossible without understanding the directions and ways of its development, which must be formulated in the development strategy; the transition of the educational institution to the regime development means the search for new forms in the development, education and upbringing of children); 2 – the head of the preschool education institution contributes to the creation of a psychologically comfortable environment (an important task entrusted to the head of the institution is to create a comfortable psychological climate for all participants in the educational process); 3 – the effectiveness of personnel policy and provision of opportunities for the professional development of teaching staff (the head of the preschool education institution forms the staff of the institution, attracting qualified teaching and other staff in accordance with staffing standards and the type of institution); 4 – creation of conditions for the realization of the rights and responsibilities of participants in the educational process and the development of public self-governance (in order for the institution to work as a single organism, the leader must unite many very different people).
The institution of preschool education as a component of the education system, although it has features in common with various educational institutions, differs in the specificity of functioning, which makes it impossible to directly transfer general theoretical positions and technologies of quality management of educational services from other educational systems to the practice of preschool education. They should use the content, adequate to the modern features of the functioning and tasks of the preschool education institution.
The development and improvement of a modern preschool education institution is based on the methods and technologies that the manager should use to organize the work of the institution. However, in education, such concepts as “targeted influence”, “implementation”, “management”, etc. are still often used. Instead, the modern management of a preschool education institution requires an orientation towards interaction, cooperation, reflective management, scientific justification and a change in the philosophy of education, which is the main condition for ensuring its quality.
