Features of certification carried out to confirm the suitability of a teaching employee for the position held

To carry out certification in an educational organization, a special certifying commission. On its formation, the employer issues an order (instruction), which approves the personal composition of the certification commission: chairman, deputy chairman, secretary and members of the commission) and, if necessary, regulations on the commission, regulations of the commission, etc.

The Employer also issues an appropriate order (instruction) on certification, which determines the personnel of teaching staff subject to certification, the certification schedule, and, if necessary, other issues regarding the organization of certification activities.

Not less than 30 days Before the date stipulated by the certification schedule, each teaching worker subject to certification must be familiarized with the order (instruction) against signature. For each teaching staff, the employer submits to the certification commission in advance performance, containing information about the teaching staff:

• last name, first name, patronymic (if available);
• name of the position as of the date of certification;
• date of conclusion of the employment contract for this position;
• level of education and (or) qualifications in specialty or area of ​​training;
• information on obtaining additional professional education in the profile of teaching activity;
• results of previous certifications (if any);
• motivated comprehensive and objective assessment of professional, business qualities and results professional activity pedagogical worker for implementation labor responsibilities assigned to him by the employment contract (clause 11, section II of the Procedure).

No later than 30 days before the scheduled date of certification the employer is obliged to acquaint the teaching staff with the submission against signature. After reviewing the submission, the teacher may, at his own discretion, submit to the certification commission additional information characterizing his professional activities for the period from the date of the previous certification (in the case of initial certification, from the date of entry to work) (clause 12 of Section II of the Procedure). If the employee refuses to familiarize himself with the submission, the employer, in the presence of at least two persons, draws up and signs a corresponding act.

The main form of certification is a meeting of the certification commission, which is considered valid if present at least two thirds of the total number of members of the certification commission. The teaching staff subject to certification must be present at the meeting. In case of absence for a good reason (must be documented and reflected in the minutes of the meeting), his certification is postponed to another date, and changes are made to the schedule, with which the employee must be familiarized no less than 30 calendar days before the date of new certification. If a teacher fails to appear without a valid reason, the organization’s certification commission has the right to conduct certification in his absence.

During the meeting, the certification commission reviews the submission and (if available) additional information characterizing the professional activities of the person being certified.

If this is provided for by the regulations of the certification commission, members of the certification commission exchange opinions, ask questions both to each other and to the teacher being certified, and, if necessary, make motivated proposals to consider additional information, etc.

Based on the results of consideration of the available information, the certification commission makes one of the following decisions (indicating the position of the certified pedagogical worker in the minutes of the meeting):

• corresponds to the position held (when at least half of the members of the certification commission present voted for the decision on the suitability of the person being certified for the position held);
• does not correspond to the position held.

“The decision is made by the certification commission of the organization in the absence of the teacher being certified by an open vote by a majority vote of the members of the certification commission of the organization present at the meeting.

When undergoing certification, a teaching worker who is a member of the organization’s certification commission does not participate in voting on his candidacy” (clause 16 of Section II of the Procedure).

The results of certification of teaching staff are entered into protocol, signed by all members of the certification commission and communicated to the person being certified immediately after the voting results are summed up. The protocol, along with other documents related to the certification of teaching staff, is kept by the employer. According to clause 20 of Section II of the Procedure for a teacher who has passed the certification, no later than two working days from the date of certification, the secretary of the organization’s certification commission draws up an extract from the protocol containing information about the last name, first name, patronymic (if any) of the person being certified, the name of his position, the date of the meeting of the organization’s certification commission, the voting results, and the decision made by the organization’s certification commission. The employer provides the teaching staff with an extract from the protocol against signature within three working days after its preparation. An extract from the protocol is kept in the personal file of the teacher.

Note!

Certification results in order to confirm the compliance of teaching staff with the positions they occupy based on the assessment and professional activities of the teaching staff has the right to appeal in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation (clause 21 of section II of the Procedure).

The results of the certification are the basis for the certification commission to submit, for consideration by the employer, motivated recommendations on the advisability (inexpediency) of appointing to the relevant positions of teaching staff persons who do not have special training and/or work experience, but at the same time have sufficient practical experience and competence to perform their assigned duties. their job duties are carried out efficiently and in full (clause 23 of section II of the Procedure).

Peculiarities of certification carried out in order to establish the qualification category for a teaching worker

Certification in order to establish a teaching worker’s qualification category is also carried out by a specially authorized body - the certification commission. But in this case, the commission is formed not by the employer (educational organization), but federal executive authorities or authorized state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. It all depends on whose jurisdiction the relevant educational organizations are located (clause 25 of Section III of the Procedure). The principles for forming certification commissions are almost identical to those for conducting certifications in order to confirm compliance with the position held. In this case, the conditions for attracting specialists to carry out a comprehensive analysis of the professional activities of teaching staff are still being determined (clause 26 of Section III of the Procedure).

As noted, this type carries certification declarative nature— it is carried out on the basis of a written application from a teaching worker applying for a qualification category, which is submitted directly to the authorized certification commission. The employee can also send an application by regular mail (letter with acknowledgment of receipt) or by e-mail (with notification in the form of an electronic document). The application indicates the qualification categories and positions for which the teaching staff wishes to undergo certification (clauses 27, 28, section III of the Procedure).

“Applications for certification in order to establish the highest qualification category for the position for which certification will be carried out for the first time are submitted by the teaching staff no earlier than two years after the first qualification category has been established for this position. The expiration of the highest qualification category does not limit the right of a teaching worker to subsequently apply to the certification commission for certification in order to establish the highest qualification category for the same position. Applications from teaching staff for certification are considered by authorized certification commissions on time no more than 30 calendar days from the date of their receipt, during which:

a) a specific period for certification is determined for each teaching worker individually, taking into account the validity period of the previously established qualification category;

b) written notification of teaching staff is carried out about the date and place of their certification” (paragraphs 30 - 32 of section III of the order).

The duration of certification for each teaching worker from the beginning of its implementation until the decision is made by the certification commission cannot exceed 60 calendar days (clause 33 of Section III of the Procedure).

In light of the topic under consideration, let us pay attention to the basic criteria for establishing the first and highest qualification categories for teaching staff (clauses 36, 37 of Section III of the Procedure).

• stable positive results students' mastery of educational programs based on the results of monitoring conducted by the organization;
• stable positive results of students mastering educational programs based on the results of monitoring the education system, carried out in the manner established by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 05.08.2013 No. 662 “On monitoring the education system”;
• identifying the development of students’ abilities for scientific (intellectual), creative, physical education and sports activities;
• personal contribution to improving the quality of education, improving teaching and educational methods, transmitting experience of practical results of their professional activities to teaching teams, active participation in the work of methodological associations of teaching staff of the organization.

• students achieving positive dynamics in the results of mastering educational programs based on the results of monitoring conducted by the organization;
• students achieving positive results in mastering educational programs based on the results of monitoring the education system, carried out in the manner established by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of August 5, 2013 No. 662 “On monitoring the education system”;
• identifying and developing students’ abilities for scientific (intellectual), creative, physical education and sports activities, as well as their participation in olympiads, competitions, festivals, competitions;
• personal contribution to improving the quality of education, improving teaching and educational methods and the productive use of new educational technologies, broadcasting the experience of the practical results of their professional activities, including experimental and innovative ones, to teaching teams;
• active participation in the work of methodological associations of teaching staff of organizations, in the development of program and methodological support for the educational process, and professional competitions.

According to clause 35 of Section III of the Procedure, certification in order to establish a qualification category for a teaching worker can be carried out both in the presence of the person being certified, and without him, regardless of the reasons for absence.

The assessment of the professional activities of teaching staff in order to establish a qualification category is carried out by the certification commission based on the results of their work (according to the criteria for establishing the appropriate category), provided that their professional activities are actually related to the relevant areas of work (clause 38, section III of the Procedure).

Based on the certification results, the certification commission makes one of the following decisions (indicating the position of the certified teacher):

• establish the first (highest) qualification category;
• refuse to establish the first (highest) qualification category.

Final stage carrying out certification (up to the possibility of the certified person appealing its results) the same as in the case of certification to confirm compliance with the position held.

True, in contrast to the first type of certification, in this case the results of certification are made public: “based on decisions of certification commissions on the results of certification of teaching staff, the relevant federal executive authorities or authorized government bodies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation issue administrative acts on the establishment of first or the highest qualification category from the date of the decision of the certification commission, which are posted on the official websites of the specified bodies on the Internet (clause 44 of section III of the Procedure).

The grounds for assigning qualification categories have been clarified. If the category is refused, the employee can re-apply for its assignment only after a year.

Previously assigned qualification categories are retained for the period for which they were established.
