What it is

Teacher certification has two purposes:

1. Confirmation of the employee’s suitability for the position held is mandatory.
2. To establish qualification categories - at the request of the teacher himself.

Certification is carried out in accordance with Order of the Ministry of Education No. 276 of 2014, which approved the regularity of its conduct.

Based on this order, you will need to confirm your knowledge:

• every five years without fail;
• at any convenient time for everyone.

An exception is provided for those teachers who have confirmed their qualification category or have worked in the position for less than 2 years.

Also, a delay in passing the mandatory certification is granted to a teacher who is pregnant. As soon as your maternity leave is over, you can take the aptitude test.

Certification means assessing the knowledge of an employee engaged in business activities. A special commission is formed to test knowledge. It includes employees of organizations engaged in educational activities.

The commission members must evaluate:

• experience;
• level of knowledge and skills;
• special skills of the teacher.

If the decision is positive, it is considered that the teacher is adequate for the position held; if the decision is negative, the employee will be fired.

Additionally, regular certification solves more complex problems:

• encourages teachers to grow professionally;
• identifies the most capable personnel;
• optimize the work of employees.

Discrimination during testing of knowledge and skills is unacceptable. All teachers are evaluated equally.

There are three forms of certification:

• certification session;
• model passport;
• expert opinion.

The last document is an assessment of the teacher’s knowledge and skills.

An expert opinion is a voluminous document and is inconvenient to store in an archive on paper. With the introduction of new rules in 2015, the very form of issuing the document changed.

Now it is issued in an abbreviated form on one page, which is filed in the archive. The document itself is stored on electronic media in its entirety.

Requirements for categories

According to the “Procedure for Certification of Teaching Workers,” the following requirements are imposed on the categories.

Requirements for the first qualification category:

• mastery of modern educational technologies and methods and their effective application in practice;
• personal contribution to improving the quality of education based on improving teaching and educational methods;
• stable results of students mastering educational programs and indicators of the dynamics of their achievements are above average in the constituent entity of the Russian Federation.

Requirements for the highest qualification category:

• the first qualification category has been established;
• mastery of modern educational technologies and methods and their effective application in practice;
• stable results of students mastering educational programs and indicators of the dynamics of their achievements above average in the constituent entity of the Russian Federation, including taking into account the results of participation of students and pupils in all-Russian and international olympiads, competitions, competitions;
• personal contribution to improving the quality of education based on improving teaching and upbringing methods, innovative activities, mastering new educational technologies and actively disseminating one’s own experience in the field of improving the quality of education and upbringing.

At the same time, olympiads, competitions and competitions are taken into account only for the assessment of those teaching staff whose work includes these events. For example, for educational psychologists this point is not valid.

Considering such a requirement as the active dissemination of their own experience in the field of improving the quality of education and upbringing, experts will take into account the dissemination of experience at the municipal and/or regional and/or federal levels, which is even more valuable. How to summarize the experience of a teacher

In preparation for the certification procedure, the teacher prepares a portfolio. Teachers can express themselves in the work of regional methodological associations, conduct open classes, participate in seminars, summarize their work experience, and also conduct research and experimental work.

In addition, the teacher can present the results not only of his own work, but also the achievements of his students. These are the results of creative competitions at various levels, scientific and practical conferences for students, distance learning olympiads, and the results of regional tests, district and regional subject olympiads can go into the teacher’s treasury.

Before writing an application in preparation for the certification procedure, a teaching worker has the right to receive consultations, recommendations for self-training both in the subcommittee and, if necessary, in the Certification Commission or undergo training in advanced training courses.

Teaching staff have the right to submit applications throughout the entire calendar year. The certification commission reviews the application of the certified employee within a month, then the certification procedure itself takes place within two months.

The leading role in the certification of teaching staff is given to experts; the most significant role is played by the conclusions they draw and the expert opinion they prepare.

Compiled by

It is possible to obtain an expert opinion on the certification of teaching staff in 2020 only after a successful knowledge test or, as a consequence, after an increase in category.

Each certification commission has a chairman. It is he who must draw up an expert opinion for the teacher. The form of the document is approved by the certification commission.

Its members have the right:

• request additional information to assess the employee’s skills;
• choose a form of knowledge assessment yourself;
• carefully study the provided materials.

An expert opinion is drawn up based on the results of the performance assessment. It consists of the document itself and its annexes.

We will tell you in detail how to draw up a conclusion correctly.

How to submit documents for certification

1. A teacher who decides to submit an application collects a package of documents:

• application in the prescribed form (sample);
• a photocopy of the certification sheet of the previous certification (if there was one);
• new certification sheet , filled out up to point 7 inclusive;
• a portfolio of your professional achievements (there are recommendations for compilation), which can be submitted to the certification commission both at the time of submitting the application and within a month after that.

2. A package of documents is submitted to the certification commission of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation - in the capital, these functions are performed by the Moscow Center for Educational Law, located at st. Bolshaya Dekabrskaya, building 9.

3. Within a month, the commission reviews the application and sets the date, place and time for the teacher’s certification. The certification period should not exceed 2 months.

Compilation rules

Regardless of whether a teacher defends a category or not, he must meet a huge number of criteria.

Their list generally depends on the position held:

• teacher;
• social teacher;
• trainer;
• senior counselor;
• teacher-speech therapist;
• teacher of additional education and so on.

For each criterion, depending on the knowledge and skills of the examinee, a certain number of points is awarded. Subsequently, the points are summed up.

There are criteria by which points are not summed up; a high result in any direction is much more important. For example: the participation of the coach’s students in various competitions and their performance.

We offer expert opinions and familiarize yourself with them:

• for employees of preschool institutions;
• for teachers of educational institutions;
• for trainers;
• for teachers and psychologists;
• for teachers who provide additional instruction to students.

Each expert report form is filled out by hand or on a computer; it indicates the last name, first name and patronymic of the certified employee, as well as the details of the responsible expert, place of work and his position.

The skills are then assessed according to each criterion. Each column of the table indicates the maximum that a certified person can receive. Next, the points are summed up, and the total score is written below.

As an example, here is a table with the conditions for awarding the first and highest category:

Below is a short summary that can be drawn based on the results of the activities carried out. For example, assigning a category. The commission also makes recommendations to the teacher that could be useful.

They are given based on the disadvantages and shortcomings that were noticed during testing. At the end of the document, the expert confirms it with a signature. The expert opinion is ready, you can transfer it to the archive, and print out the first sheet and file it.

How is certification carried out?

Attestation procedures

The qualification test takes the form of an examination of the teacher’s portfolio of professional achievements. The meeting of the certification commission can take place either without the participation of the teacher undergoing testing, or in his presence. You must write in advance in your application if you wish to attend the meeting.

If the teacher expressed his desire to attend the meeting, but did not appear at the meeting within the specified period without a good reason, the certification commission has the right to conduct certification in his absence.

Commission decision

1. During certification, to establish compliance of their professional level with the requirements for qualification categories, the decision of the commission is recorded and recorded on the certification sheet of the teaching worker. Then it is approved by the educational authorities of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation. The certification sheet and an extract from the act of the educational authority are sent to the employer.
2. If the teacher has passed certification, a decision is made “meets the requirements for the first (highest) qualification category.” In this case, the qualification category is assigned to the teaching worker from the date the certification commission makes the corresponding decision. From the same date, the teacher has the right to wages in accordance with his category.
3. An entry about the assignment of a category is made in the work book, in the “Work Information” section. For example: “The first qualification category for the position of “teacher” has been established - but the subject taught is not indicated. If the teacher has not passed certification, a decision is made “does not meet the requirements for the first (highest) qualification category.”
4. In this case, those who “passed” for the first category remain without a category and must undergo certification for suitability for the position held. Those who “did not pass” to the highest level are retained in the first qualification category until its expiration date. After which the certification will have to be taken again - either to confirm the first category, or to establish the highest.

Appealing the decision of the certification commission

The right to appeal the results of certification is stipulated in the “Procedure for certification of teaching staff.” You can file an appeal either to the labor dispute commission at the regional education authority or to the court. An application to the court to resolve an individual labor dispute is filed within three months from the day the employee learned or should have learned of a violation of his right.

The certification procedure includes conducting an expert assessment and conducting a self-assessment of the pedagogical activities of the certified person.

It is the experts who have the right to draw a conclusion as to how well-reasoned the application of a teacher with a request for certification is.

At the end of the expert report, the expert group expresses its opinion on whether the person being certified meets or does not meet the requirements for the highest or first qualification categories. In addition, experts have the right to include recommendations in their expert opinion. If there are recommendations, a certified teaching worker is obliged to implement them within a year. The employer must monitor the implementation of the recommendations.

A new type of certification is certification of teaching staff in order to confirm compliance with the position held. This is a mandatory certification for teaching staff who do not have a qualification category. The “Methodology for assessing the level of qualifications of teaching staff” provides, if necessary, the possibility of conducting a written qualification exam by an on-site commission. When preparing for certification, as well as during certification for a qualification category, teachers should have the opportunity to receive qualified assistance in the form of advanced training courses, consultations, self-study materials, and the like.

The basis for certification in order to confirm compliance with the position held is the employer’s submission, which contains: - a motivated, comprehensive and objective assessment of the professional, business qualities of the teaching staff, the results of his professional activities based on the qualification characteristics for the position held; — information about the teacher’s advanced training, including at the direction of the employer, for the period preceding the certification; — information about the results of previous certifications

Watch: Executive Introduction

Teaching staff undergo qualification tests in writing on issues related to their teaching activities in their position. A certified teacher has the right to choose one of two options for a written qualification test: - preparation of a lesson summary (lesson) on the subject he teaches this year; - solving pedagogical situations. The “Methodology for assessing the level of qualifications of teaching staff” presents a bank of tasks for conducting written qualification tests in the form of solving pedagogical situations. Tests for certification of teaching staff for compliance with the position held Tests for certification The purpose of preparing lesson notes as a form of qualification testing is to assess the level of development of professional pedagogical competencies. Based on this assessment, a judgment is made about the suitability of the teaching staff for the position held. During certification, in order to establish compliance with the position held, a package of documents is submitted to the certification commission, which includes a presentation, an expert opinion and an attestation sheet. If, based on the results of certification, a teacher is recognized as not corresponding to the position held, the employer can provide him with training or advanced training, transfer him to a more suitable vacant position, or, as a last resort, terminate his employment contract.

If the teacher does not confirm his category in time, it will be cancelled. After that:

• a teaching worker of the first category will have to either submit an application for certification to be assigned the first category, or undergo certification in the general manner to confirm compliance;
• A teaching worker of the highest category will be forced to first be certified for the first category, and only after two years he will receive the right to apply for the highest.

These materials contain methodological recommendations for analyzing the professional activities of educators and drawing up abstracts of an analytical report for the inter-certification period. Methodological materials are intended for teaching and management personnel involved in certification processes.

The presence of abstracts of the analytical report allows the certifier, at the time of the certification procedure, to expand them into any form of presentation, for example, a creative report, a computer presentation, or a demonstration of educational and methodological support for the educational process.
