Interesting facts about education for Teacher's Day. Interesting facts about education for Teacher's Day Fundraising for school reconstruction: a dollar for sticking the principal to the wall

What does a person need to be happy? No, not a gift, but attention! At the same time, one becomes joyful from the very fact that he was able to make someone happy. But it’s even warmer in your soul when you give happy moments to someone you love.

Every student had, has and will have a favorite teacher (some even have more than one!). You can congratulate him not only on his professional holiday, but also on any other significant day for him. How to make a congratulation original and interesting so that the teacher remembers it for a long time?

1. Classics of the genre - flowers

If your favorite teacher is a woman, then you can give her flowers (this is the first thing that comes to mind). But just come up and hand over a bouquet? No! The very fact of presentation can be made much more interesting: students, with words of congratulations, take turns handing over the flowers that will make up the overall bouquet.

Everyone’s congratulations should include original wishes:

• We present the first rose for boundless love for us;
• The second flower will serve as a reminder that this love is mutual;
• We removed all the thorns from the third rose, so that life seems like paradise for you, so that you can easily overcome all obstacles;
• The fourth rose is the most magnificent, the most beautiful, we present it with wishes of health.

2. Congratulations in verse

Also a classic, but attractive to many. The subject of the poems should be close to the teacher: about himself, about his favorite students, about school life. A humorous approach to writing is welcome (if, of course, the teacher has a sense of humor). The poem itself can be framed and presented along with a gift.

Another way of such congratulations: During the lesson, one student suddenly stands up and in poetic form expresses gratitude and congratulations on behalf of everyone. After he sits down, the second participant speaks, then the rest in order. This way, it will be possible to kill two birds with one stone: congratulate the teacher and reduce the lesson time. The unexpectedness and solemnity of the situation will delight the teacher. Just don’t congratulate those who are determined to work seriously even on a holiday (they may not appreciate the preparation).

3. Mini-concert

This congratulation requires careful preparation and rehearsal. Each student chooses a form of congratulation that is close to him: a song, a dance, a poem, a ditty. Then they group by interests and prepare performances. After class, they show the prepared event to their favorite teacher.

4. Tree of Wishes

Collective congratulations from students: everyone says one word - a wish for their beloved teacher. These words can be written in advance on pieces of paper, which are then glued to the trunk. You will get a kind of Tree of Wishes for your favorite teacher for the whole year, which is given to him as a keepsake. In the same way you can design the Glade, Sea, Sky of Wishes.

5. Salute

If your favorite teacher is fearless and can appreciate a sense of humor, then you can congratulate him with balloons. Each student has 3 balls in their hands. As soon as the teacher enters the classroom, the students shout congratulations in unison: “Congratulations! Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!". For every shout of “Hurray!” Students use a needle to pop one balloon at a time. It turns out to be a kind of fireworks in honor of the holiday.

6. Wall newspaper

You can congratulate your favorite teacher with a wall newspaper, in the design of which everyone took part. To decorate a newspaper, you can use paper flowers, leaves, ribbons, photographs, poems, and jokes. You can leave some space on the sheet for congratulations from other students. You can hand over the finished newspaper immediately after class.

7. The very best

Musical congratulations from students. Excerpts of songs and descriptions for them are selected in advance (for example, the song “She has eyes ...”, the description is mind-blowing). A sheet with a photograph of the teacher is attached to the board. To the sound of music, children bring out appropriate signs and attach them under the photo. After the musical introduction, the students congratulate the teacher, who is so “kind, breathtaking, beautiful...” on the holiday.

8. Congratulations in video format

Information technology in our time allows us to do a lot: take photographs, record video or voice, change our appearance.

Using a variety of animation capabilities, you can create an original video greeting in various styles:

• Interview - in the form of answers from teachers and students to questions about school life. An interesting form of interview is when in reality one question is asked (For example, “What does a student who has fallen off a bicycle look like?”), and in the video a completely different one (“What should an ideal student look like?”). In this case, the question remains the same as asked in the first version.
• School life overview– photographs and videos of lessons and extracurricular activities are used.
• Scenes from school life, jumble, theatrical performances.
• Congratulations from every student- read poems, sing a song, dance.
• Congratulations without words. All words can be printed on paper sheets and depicted using various objects (sticks, pebbles, colored candies).

Very few material costs are required to prepare for recording. But you will need time and imagination, as well as the desire to create and lead. The finished video is recorded on disk and given to the teacher. It is advisable to organize a joint viewing to see the tears of joy in the eyes of your beloved teacher and rejoice with him.

9. Live congratulations

Congratulations to the “living” participants – the students. Here you will have to agree with students of other classes so that there are enough “live” resources to “write” the word “Congratulations!” Under the windows of the study, students line up in the required order, and then loudly call the teacher by name and patronymic. As soon as the teacher looks out the window, they loudly shout “Congratulations!” If desired, you can release balloons to create a multi-colored stream directed into the sky.

10. Comic instruction

A verbal congratulation, recorded on paper and certified by the seal of the institution (you can agree with the director).

Instruction can be carried out for any reason:

• “How to behave correctly in front of the director in the office to survive";
• "How to use students _ class";
• "How to conduct lessons, so that they are remembered for a long time";
• "How to behave in the dining room, to protect your face from food debris.”

The students take turns reading out “harmful” advice: sit as quietly as a mouse in the principal’s office; do not contradict, so as not to awaken the tiger in him; Prepare for the test carefully, searching every corner with a metal detector. You can end the instruction with a comic song or a poem of your own composition.

11. Giving hearts

For congratulations, you will need hearts - made of fabric or paper - with a photo of each student. There is a Whatman paper hanging on the board, with a photo of the teacher pasted in the center. Students take turns approaching the Whatman paper and saying: “I give a piece of my heart to you, because …” they glue the heart anywhere. When all the hearts are glued, hand the finished sheet to the teacher with words of congratulations.

12. Russian roulette

Students prepare congratulations, then stand to form a circle. The teacher stands in the center with his eyes closed. He extends his arms forward, places his palms together and turns clockwise, counting out loud to three, then stops. The student to whom the teacher’s hands are pointing reads the congratulation and leaves the circle. After the last student reads the congratulation, all students congratulate the teacher in unison. All congratulations as the participants leave can be recorded in a notebook of congratulations, which is then presented in a solemn atmosphere.

13. Fabulous congratulations

To congratulate in this style you will need a paper crown. Students stand in a line opposite the teacher. The first one puts the crown on himself and says the following words: “I, the king of work and rest, command that ... (name, patronymic of the teacher) the work and rest regime correspond to the norm.” Then he passes the crown to the next one. Here you need to assign roles in advance, who will be which king and what will be desired. For example, a king of laziness and idleness may want his subjects to bypass the teacher; the queen of boredom and melancholy - so that the teacher would only feel sad and bored in his dreams.

Recruiters from the Unity agency analyzed 800 teacher vacancies and found that specialists who understand 3D modeling, robotics, electronics, know Chinese and can type texts earn the most. And teachers who have been trained under the International Baccalaureate program are paid so much money that many come to work in Russia from abroad. Education experts note that while private schools and gymnasiums are chasing unusual teachers, some public educational institutions do not have mathematics lessons due to a shortage of regular teachers.

Recruitment specialist Anna Kudryavtseva said that in the 2016–2017 academic year, the demand for teachers with rare knowledge and skills exceeded the supply. The lead time for filling such vacancies ranges from two months or more, and applicants with the required competencies are offered a salary 20–30% more than the market average.

The most in-demand unique competencies now include the basics of programming, electronics, 3D modeling, robotics, Chinese, speed reading, mental arithmetic and touch typing. Mostly, such teachers are sought out by private schools, commercial projects of children's clubs, and less often by state lyceums and gymnasiums.

There are not enough teachers in these areas on the labor market. For example, in my estimation, 1 out of 20 candidates can handle an elective in robotics. For this, only deep knowledge of the subject is not enough; practical experience in assembling and programming robots is required, in some cases, the ability to choose the optimal manufacturer and equip the laboratory with all the necessary equipment,” notes Anna Kudryavtseva. - The average salary in Moscow for the robotics sector is 52–60 thousand rubles at a standard workload. Specialists with three years of experience can count on an income of up to 90 thousand rubles. At this time, a young physics teacher in an ordinary Moscow school receives about 35 thousand rubles per month.

In Russia as a whole, the figures are lower: the average offer for vacancies is 18–24 thousand rubles, and rare highly qualified specialists can count on 42–56 thousand rubles per month.

But the highest paid in Russia are teachers with International Baccalaureate (IB) competencies. Upon successful completion of school under this program, graduates are accepted without exams into universities in many European countries. There are only 10 private and public schools and gymnasiums in Moscow where you can get an IB diploma.

Only teachers who have been trained in a special certification center can teach IB. For graduating classes in Russia, they are worth their weight in gold, but for elementary schools they are not available at all,” says Dina Potapova, a recruiter at the Unity agency.

She said that since the beginning of 2016, the agency had been selecting for a private school in the city of Yelabuga a primary school teacher who was a native English speaker and had an IB qualification. But in Russia there was no such specialist. Only six months later we managed to come to an agreement with the foreign applicant. His salary was £3,850, or 300 thousand rubles per month.

Member of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation, teacher of Russian language and literature Roman Doschinsky believes that, despite its high cost, IB is not taking root in Russian schools.

The International Baccalaureate, or International Baccalaureate, looks attractive to many institutions, but it is an alien element. For example, IB presupposes the freedom of choice of the student; he can complete 80% of the training on his own. Our teachers cannot adapt to such work,” says Doschinsky. He adds that the International Baccalaureate program cannot be fully implemented in Russia; each student must receive a document on education according to Russian standards. This means that Russian and international programs will have to be combined.

The director of Izhevsk secondary school No. 97, Honored Worker of Public Education Akhtam Chugalayev told Izvestia that now there is a shortage not only of teachers with rare competencies, but also of primary school teachers, physics, mathematics and biology in ordinary public schools.

Sometimes a school searches for a teacher for several years. There are educational institutions in the regions where, for example, there are no mathematics lessons,” says the director. In his opinion, this situation will only worsen over the years: now teachers teach several classes and instead of 24 hours a week they work more than 30 hours. Most of the teams are elderly, and when they retire, there will be no one to replace them. Graduates of pedagogical universities do not go to work in schools.

The problem with personnel in Russian schools is very serious. Teachers' salaries were brought up to the regional average, but this was due to an increase in workload. People burn out at work, there is no need to talk about the increase in the prestige of the profession, concluded Chugalayev.

Especially for the holiday, we have made an entertaining selection of facts that will be interesting and useful not only to your children, but also to you! And don’t forget to congratulate your teachers on October 5th!

1. Teacher and teacher were not always synonymous words. In Ancient Greece, teachers were called slaves who were given a special assignment - to accompany the boy to school (ancient Greek παιδαγωγός, “leading the child”). And, although such slaves were also supposed to protect the child from danger, this task was usually entrusted to a servant who was no longer suitable for any other work. It is curious that teachers often became Thracian or Asian slaves, who spoke Greek with difficulty.

2. In Ancient Rome, the functions of slave teachers changed: now this is what the mentors of young slaves were called, who trained them in basic responsibilities.

3. Everyone read “Eugene Onegin” at school, and everyone retained in their memory the image of a French tutor not burdened with responsibilities:

Monsieur l "Abbé, poor Frenchman,

So that the child does not get tired,

I taught him everything jokingly,

I didn’t bother you with strict morals,

Lightly scolded for pranks

And he took me for a walk in the Summer Garden.

Meanwhile, at the end of the 18th century, a decree was issued requiring foreign tutors and teachers to have certificates from the Academy of Sciences or Moscow University (since 1804, certificates were also issued by gymnasiums). Otherwise, they faced expulsion from the country, and their owners faced a fine of 100 rubles. Only graduates of universities and theological academies, as well as girls who graduated from educational institutions under the Ministry of Public Education, were exempt from exams. Since the beginning of the 19th century, a high percentage of governesses were Russian teachers. In 1834, the Regulations on home tutors and teachers were issued, according to which they had to be Christians and Russian subjects. A “Certificate of Moral Character”, issued by the educational institution where the mentor or tutor received his education, as well as a reference from his place of residence, became mandatory.

4. Universal Education Laws adopted: in Prussia in 1717 and 1763, in Austria in 1774, in Denmark in 1814, in Sweden in 1842, in Norway in 1848, in the USA in 1852-1900, in Japan in 1872, in Italy in 1877, in Great Britain in 1880, in France - in 1882. Do you want to know where Russia fits into this list? Read on!

5. In Russia after discussions in the State Duma in 1908-1912 The education reform (universal primary education) was planned to be completed around the end of the 1920s. The 1897 census revealed only 21% of the population in the Russian Empire was literate.

6. Older siblings who studied the history of the Communist Party at school and universities remember the Second Congress of the RSDLP... well, the same one that took place in London in 1903, and where the party split into Bolsheviks and Mensheviks. But, by the way, the main postulates of the party’s educational program were also adopted there! Universal free compulsory education for children of both sexes up to 16 years of age; elimination of class schools and restrictions in education based on nationality; separation of school and church; training in native language... As you can see, the Bolsheviks were five years ahead of the State Duma and, indeed, were much more decisive in their plans. It is not surprising that already on November 9, 1917, almost the first thing that was established was the State Commission on Education, which was entrusted with the task of managing the entire system of public education. The plan was thought out a long time ago! In total, by 1920, 3 million people were taught to read and write. The 1920 census on the territory of Soviet Russia recorded the ability to read in 41.7% of the population aged 8 years and older. That is, the Bolsheviks fulfilled the plans of the tsarist government and began to exceed them...

7. If secondary education in the USSR was compulsory and free, then complete, special and, especially, higher education was paid for a long time. In 1940, a decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR was issued “On the establishment of tuition fees in senior secondary schools and in higher educational institutions of the USSR and on changing the procedure for awarding scholarships.” For students in grades 8-10 of secondary schools, technical schools, pedagogical schools, agricultural and other special secondary schools establishments the fee ranged from 150 to 200 rubles per year. Education in higher educational institutions cost from 300 to 500 rubles per year. Tuition fees averaged approximately 10% of the family budget in 1940 (with one working person), in 1950 and further, until the abolition of payment in 1956, about 5%.

8. It is interesting that in the USSR they experimented not only with paid education, but also with joint education. Until 1917, education in Russia was separate. Then, in October 1918, the regulation “On the Unified Labor School of the RSFSR” was introduced, which implied free and cooperative education for school-age children. In 1943, separate education for boys and girls was introduced in secondary schools in Moscow, Leningrad, the capitals of the union republics, regional and regional centers and a number of large industrial centers of the USSR. And although in the end the number of single-sex schools did not exceed 2% of their total number, one can only wonder - was there really nothing else to do during the hardest years of the war other than to reform education? By the way, the experiment was considered a failure; they returned to joint education in 1954.

9. The free issuance of school textbooks was enshrined - neither more nor less - in the Constitution of the USSR, adopted in 1977, which, as you know, spells out the fundamental rights and freedoms of citizens. So textbooks were taken very seriously in the USSR! It’s a pity that the current constitution doesn’t say a word about textbooks...

10. And finally, a fun fact that you will probably like. You have uttered the phrase “being stupid” many times, but you probably haven’t thought about the origin of this expression. Meanwhile, it came to us directly from pre-revolutionary classical gymnasiums, where much attention was paid to the study of the ancient Greek language. The teachers called the most careless students the Greek word “moros” (μωρός - brainless). So, when you report that someone “talked nonsense,” you swear like an ancient Greek teacher!
