For several months now, every Saturday in the bookstore "Grifel" we have been creating magic called "Read me a fairy tale." The “fairy godmother” of the project was the Vice-Rector for additional education Natalia Zolotareva. How the idea was born, how Thumbelina differs from Cinderella, and what children draw after reading - about this and much more in our interview.

Natalia Mikhailovna, please tell us how you got this interesting idea- read good books to children?

How did this idea come to me? I was inspired by the unusual bookstore Grifel. It combines books and education. And everything is focused on development and self-development. First, Grifel appeared in Yaroslavl, and now he has come to Moscow, to the Central Children's Store. And when I saw his educational space, so bright, sunny and cozy, and children's music plays around, a train rides, children play ... and so I wanted magic ... I remembered my childhood. I loved listening to my dad read fairy tales to me. I sat next to him and said: "Read me a fairy tale." “Come on, daughter, what are we reading today?” - he answered ... Dad loved to read to me. He, like a true teacher, read in a special way, so that the images came to life, and then he always discussed what he read with me. Now, having already raised my daughter, I know that it is reading fairy tales to children that starts the process of thinking in images, develops their imagination... That's how this project "Read me a fairy tale" was born.

You just read fairy tales, right?

Oooh, we have a whole fabulous space for children from 5 to 8 years old. Every Saturday we read, discuss and draw fairy tales in the amazing book "Slate".

How is the reading of fairy tales going?

Fairy Hour includes several stages. We start at 13:00. For the first fifteen minutes we get together, get to know each other, play quiet games. Then we read the story. First one storyteller starts, then the second one continues. They read with expression, voice or facial expressions, drawing the children's attention to special moments, sometimes stopping and asking questions, showing examples (for example, what size was Thumbelina and how much is half a grain). At the end of the fairy tale, we all discuss it together, draw the characters we like, play various quiet games. Paint fairytale heroes the kids especially like it. They usually don't want to leave. So we never finished before half past three.

Are the children in the hall with their parents or do they have to immerse themselves in this process?

Parents can stay and listen to the story too. If desired, adults can retire for an hour and a half, and then return. Children are supervised, everyone has enough attention.

Do you read yourself?

I wanted this project to be sustainable. Therefore, I invited students of our university to participate in it. The main backbone of the team of my project is the students of the RSSU. Students high school music named after Schnittke - future leaders creative teams- read fairy tales. The girls sing beautifully musical instruments, so sometimes our fairy tales are filled with music. College students - future teachers - organize immersion in a fairy-tale atmosphere, play, draw and discuss fairy tales with children.

That is, it turns out that for the students of our university this is also a practice?

Yes, it does. By the way, in addition, students of the faculty of communicative management, members of the youth editorial board, shoot photo and video reports about the project and interesting people who come to us. So this project allowed us to reveal another facet of the creative potential of our university. By the way, as soon as the project started, I began to receive regular requests on Facebook that they also want to read fairy tales to children. And now we have every fairy tale read by an adult and a student. Yes, we have already visited talented actress Alla Kozlova, CEO Kemppi Russia Evgenia Dmitrieva, theater and film actor Anton Mikhailenko, journalist and mother of two children Evgenia Kor, and stylist Olga Efanova are planning to visit Kemppi Russia in April. And such desires come and come. I myself read the very first fairy tale to feel how it was. I think we adults have a need to share kindness with others. And this project helps in this, giving in return a state of joy and happiness.

So your project is growing?

Yes, and both in content and territorially. So this month, in addition to reading fairy tales, we will have small lectures for adults: family style, on the development of emotional intelligence in children. It's nice that our "undertaking" has already had followers. The project "Read me fairy tales" has already started in Ulyanovsk, we are preparing to launch it in Ivanovo, colleagues from the Moscow region and Astana have also already expressed their desire. Each city, of course, has its own characteristics, but we are trying to build a single framework for the project.










Natalia Zolotareva graduated with honors from the Voronezh Polytechnic Institute with a degree in automation and control in technical systems"and from 1993 to 1999 she was a teacher at the Voronezh Assembly College.

In 1999 - 2004, Natalia Mikhailovna held the positions of a teacher, senior teacher of the Voronezh state university, and also part-time - teacher of the Voronezh Energy College. In 2000, she defended her Ph.D. thesis on the topic "Information training of a specialist based on modeling situations of professional activity (on the example of secondary vocational education)".

From 2005 to 2009, Natalia Zolotareva was an associate professor at the Research Center for Quality Problems in Training Specialists at the Moscow State Institute of Steel and Alloys (Technological University), and then, until 2012, she headed the department and management of NUST MISIS.

In July 2012, with the arrival of Dmitry Livanov to the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, Natalia Zolotareva was appointed to the position of director of the department of state policy in the field of personnel training and additional professional education of the ministry. She is a candidate of pedagogical sciences, an associate professor, and on January 27, 2014, by presidential decree, she was awarded the class rank of a real state adviser of the Russian Federation of the 3rd class.

Natalia Zolotareva is the official delegate from the Russian Federation to WorldSkills International. It should be noted that during her leadership of the department, Russia became an active participant in this international non-profit association, the purpose of which is to raise the status and standards of professional training and qualifications around the world. In particular, in 2012 the Russian Federation joined WorldSkills International, and the first All-Russian competition WorldSkills Russia was held in the spring of 2013 in Tolyatti. In 2014, the Union "Agency for the Development of Professional Communities and Workforce "WorldSkills Russia" was created, designed to form a system of vocational education in accordance with WSI standards to provide the economy with highly qualified workers. In August last year, Russia won the right to host the WorldSkills 2019 World Championship in Kazan, beating such competitors as Belgium and France.At the same time, the Russian team also shows success in international WorldSkills champions.In particular, following the results of the WorldSkills Championship in Brazil, the members of our national team won six prestigious medals "For the highest skill" Medallion of Excellence, winning 14th place for Russia in the overall standings, beating the United States, Canada, Sweden, Italy, Belgium, Denmark and many other countries.This year, the Russian team took first place in the overall standings at the EuroSkills 2016 championship in Gothenburg, Sweden.

According to unconfirmed reports, after leaving the Russian Ministry of Education and Science, Natalia Zolotareva will head one of the federal agencies.

As you know, the media tend to focus exclusively on high-rated topics. For example, in the official Twitter of the Ministry of Education and Science it was said that Olga Vasilyeva's interview with Nezavisimaya Gazeta would be devoted to key personnel decisions in the department.

However, the article in the newspaper came out with a headline affecting the Minister's intention to return to the best traditions Soviet school. Needless to say, almost all publications “based on” this interview begin with the fact that the Minister of Education is going to turn the general course towards the “scoop” that frightens many?

CERS experts, on the contrary, more interesting nature managerial decisions of the new minister, including the basic principles of personnel policy, which Olga Vasilyeva adheres to.

The "correct" team

With the arrival of a new minister in August 2016, the personnel reshuffle began in the Ministry of Education and Science. Almost immediately, Deputy Minister Alexander Klimov, who was in charge of higher education and training of workers, Deputy Minister Ekaterina Tolstikova, Head of the Information Policy Department Anna Usacheva, Alexander Stradze, who headed the Department of State Policy in the field of raising children and youth, Alexander Kharchenko, who headed the Department of Property, left the chairs. head of the manager Vladimir Golubovsky.

At the same time, it would be wrong to say that Olga Vasilyeva methodically gets rid of the team of her predecessor Dmitry Livanov. Judge for yourself: not so long ago ( we wrote about it – profiok.com) the letter of Deputy Minister Ekaterina Tolstikova to the then Minister Livanov became the property of the press, where eighteen pages told how she could not force her subordinate Alexander Kharchenko to comply with her orders and even government decisions for a year. Why does the new minister need such colleagues? Olga Vasilyeva fired both ( of course, she had much more arguments than we did - profiok.com).

A little later, Deputy Minister Alexander Povalko and First Deputy Minister Natalya Tretiak, head of the Department of Strategy, Analysis and Forecast Grigory Andrushchak, Sergey Salikhov, head of the Department of Science and Technology, and three of his deputies left the Ministry of Education and Science. On December 30, Natalya Zolotareva, who oversaw the training of workers and further vocational education, resigned.

A little earlier, Deputy Minister Alexei Lopatin, appointed to this position by Vasilyeva herself, had to leave the chair. The fact is that in October 2016 he was elected an academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences in the direction of "general biology". As you know, the head of state Vladimir Putin does not approve of officials combining their main activities with serious scientific work.

In the program "Press conference" ("Russia 1", 06/10/2016) Olga Vasilyeva explained that she, like her predecessors, would like to gather around her people with whom it would be possible to work “correctly and interestingly”. This means that nothing extraordinary is happening. “In fact, there are two ways to form a team at a new place of work. You can come in full with your team, or take a closer look at those who are, and then, if necessary, start making replacements, ”she said in an interview with Nezavisimaya Gazeta. As we can see, an attempt was made to take a closer look. Adults and professional people may well understand in a few months whether they can work together or not. And if it is clear that they cannot, their further stay in the same team only harms the work.

“I note that no one was fired by me in a “hard” way. People left their positions gradually, and these personnel changes did not interfere with the normal work of the ministry,” Olga Vasilyeva explained.

We add that we are not talking about a complete “cleaning of the ranks”. So, the positions of deputy ministers were retained by Veniamin Kaganov and Lyudmila Ogorodova. “I consider it a great success to have such specialists,” says Olga Vasilyeva.

Bet on the young and "natural replacement"
“I always have high hopes for our youth. I treat mature professionals with reverence, but I will definitely give young specialists a chance to try themselves,” Olga Vasilyeva told Nezavisimaya Gazeta. She explained that she came to the Ministry of Education and Science with "several young employees" whom she knew from a previous job. In addition, Vasilyeva appointed employees of departments who are familiar with the work “from the inside” to some of the positions.

So, position and.about. Director of the Department of Science and Technology was taken by Sergey Matveev - according to Vasilyeva, "one of the most talented working deputies." The promoted former deputy heads of departments are now in their 40s ( Andrei Zarubin, Director of the Finance Department, is 32 years old – profiok.com). Olga Vasilieva believes that people who have children of school or student age will be especially interested in the development of schools and universities. 36-year-old director of the Department of State Policy in the Sphere of Education of Children and Youth Igor Mikheev came to the Ministry of Education and Science from the presidential administration. But earlier, in 2012-2013, he worked in this department as a deputy head of the department. Olga Vasilyeva believes that people who have gone from an ordinary employee to the head of a department are familiar with all the intricacies of work and are well versed in it. Therefore, the minister calls such personnel changes "a natural replacement" and believes that they greatly strengthen the "middle link".

Balanced decisions

Today, far from all positions in the "management top" of the Ministry of Education and Science are occupied. However, Vasilyeva is in no hurry with the choice of candidates, obviously preferring the right choice to operational “patching holes”.

After the departure of Lopatin, the issue of a deputy minister who would oversee the development of science and technology is being resolved for a very long time. Olga Vasilyeva said that the candidacy had been determined, and that the position would soon be filled by a "very respected person, scientist and researcher", who would strengthen the team and help strengthen relations between the department and the Russian Academy of Sciences. By the way, we note that Olga Vasilyeva denied the annoying rumors about the upcoming division of the Ministry of Education and Science into two departments: the Ministry of Science and the Ministry of Education.

The positions of State Secretary and Deputy Minister, who would become involved in secondary education, are still unoccupied. Vasilyeva said that it is quite difficult to decide on a candidate for this post: you need experience in school, and in government, and just life experience. Today there are three candidates, and the final choice has not yet been made.

Apparently, no spontaneous, emotional, ill-conceived decisions from Olga Vasilyeva should not be expected. “There is nothing accidental in leadership,” the minister says.

Systems approach

“There should never be chaos in anything, you understand? - Olga Vasilyeva explained her position in an interview with REN TV. – There should be a clear order of everything. Everything and everything."

Olga Vasilyeva adheres to this principle both in personnel and organizational policy. For example, she reassigned departments whose work is related to control and audit activities, personnel, case management, information policy, and so on. Prior to the reorganization, these functions, according to Vasilyeva, were "scattered over several departments," which, moreover, were even territorially separated - they were located in different buildings.

According to Vasilyeva, before moving on to tactical steps, it is necessary to determine the goals. “Without goal-setting and the meaning of what you are doing, you can’t do anything at all,” the minister is sure. It seems that these considerations were the appointment of Sergei Bogdanov to the position of acting. Rector of the St. Petersburg State Pedagogical University named after A.I. Herzen. “He has a clear and, no less important, working concept for the development of the university. I hope he will be able to accomplish a lot, ”comments Olga Vasilyeva.

Diplomacy

Answering a question about personnel decisions, Olga Vasilyeva quotes Griboedov: “Ah! Gossips scarier than a gun. Even with those with whom joint work, as it turned out, is impossible, Vasilyeva seeks to part in an amicable way.

It is unlikely that any of the officials can be happy with their own dismissal, and for sure what is happening was discussed in every way on the sidelines. But we must pay tribute to Olga Vasilyeva: no public scandals followed a series of resignations. “My work as First Deputy Minister of Education was an extremely important and interesting challenge, I hope I managed to be useful in this responsible position. Now it's time to apply strength, experience and knowledge in a new field,” wrote Natalia Tretiak on Facebook. “I wish great success in the work of Olga Yuryevna Vasilyeva and colleagues who remain working for the benefit of the idea of ​​enlightenment, upbringing and education and dedicate their activities to the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation.”

There were no comments about the resignations from Olga Vasilyeva herself. There are no assessments of the professional and human qualities of the dismissed officials, only assurances that the work of the ministry continues in a regular manner.

Very cautiously, Olga Vasilyeva assesses the activities of the scandalous Dissernet. More precisely, he does not give an assessment at all: he says that he is not very familiar with the activities of this organization, and notes that scientific expertise should be completely devoid of political and economic interests and be carried out in the legal field.

Changes are coming in the system of secondary vocational education. To the questions of the observer "NG" Natalia SAVITSKAYA related to the upcoming reforms, the director of the department of state policy in the field of training personnel and additional professional education of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation is responsible Natalia ZOLOTAREVA.

Natalya Mikhailovna, for many years the ministry has been rehabilitating the system of secondary vocational education. Today, they are trying to save SPO with the help of the international competition of highly skilled workers - WorldSkills. Russia joined this movement two years ago. What does it give?

– WorldSkills is a powerful international movement, a modern tool for developing the sphere of working professions and career guidance, which is already used in 80 countries around the world today. The central event is the international championship of professional skills. It takes place every two years, and the national teams publicly prove their professional skills and compete in absolutely equal conditions.

In form, this is such a demonstration exam, where you can immediately see who works how, what equipment he has, what speed, what organization of work. The results of the championship allow you to compare how prepared students from different countries peace. In 2013, according to the overall standings, our national team took 41st place (out of 50), and in 2015 it already moved to 14th place and won six medals for the highest skill.

Another important point is staff training. Participating as experts, our teachers, masters of industrial training become carriers of the latest technologies, modern requirements for mastery in a particular profession. And returning to their region, they become sources of this knowledge.

Is it also tied to a certain type of equipment imported from abroad?

– A competent specialist flexibly adapts to any equipment. For example, at the HiTech championship that just took place in Yekaterinburg (it is held for young workers in high-tech enterprises), the contestant from Taiwan worked for the first time on a machine with a Siemens panel and nevertheless did his job at the highest level. Our contestants still have a strong attachment to specific equipment. But this is a question for methodologists - how to teach so that there is flexibility in adapting to different types of equipment, because it is constantly being improved.

Is Russia really far behind in the professional training of working specialties?

– Our national team has already performed well this year. But when holding competitions in the regions this year, an electronic refereeing system has been introduced. This made it possible to collect single base competition results comparable to the international level. And, unfortunately, the backlog persists in a number of professions. And for some, the gap is striking. And here a vicious circle closes: if a young person is taught according to the old methods, he leaves the walls of the school and becomes unclaimed. These guys, of course, will not be left without work, but their training affects the quality of our lives, our safety and the quality of technological processes. And the competition sets a single framework of requirements for a welder, tiler, bricklayer, electrician, bartender, hairdresser, etc.

Are these endless lists of in-demand professions also from there?

– The Ministry of Labor has compiled a list of the 50 most popular and promising professions that require secondary vocational education. And now the vocational education system is faced with the task of bringing training in these professions to international level. By the way, many of the professions on this list are also represented in the WorldSkills competition. The Ministry of Education is now organizing the development of new educational standards in these professions, and also plans to create six interregional competence centers starting next year, which will become the basis for testing the most modern educational technologies for these professions and then large-scale replication of the practices gained, teaching materials to colleges in other regions. Also, in these centers, grounds will be created for training the national team for the next championships. And one of the important landmarks for our team is the 2019 International Championship of Professional Excellence, which will be held in Kazan.

Which countries are leaders in the training of skilled workers?

- According to the results of the international championship, which was held in Brazil this year, today Asian countries are leading in the team standings: Korea, China, Japan. We have already begun to study their training experience, and also agreed on cooperation in the exchange of experts in specific professions, internships, etc.

How will the training system change in the field?

- If we talk about the changes that are associated with training in the most demanded professions and specialties of secondary vocational education, then we see that in each region leading colleges should be identified, which will be tasked with bringing training to the level of international requirements. Accordingly, this also implies strengthening the qualifications of managers and teachers, and modernizing equipment.

That is, the unification of colleges is not far off?

– Optimization processes are already underway. Regional networks of colleges are built in accordance with the structure of the regional economy. And, as practice shows, small colleges are impractical. The average occupancy of these institutions is gradually increasing to 500-1000 people. This allows the organization to be more sustainable in providing educational services. In addition, practice, including international practice, shows that it is still very effective to attract representatives of enterprises to college to improve the quality of training. And we already have many positive practices.

You are counting on the help of employers. But is it possible on a large scale?

- Without the participation of enterprises, it is impossible to train personnel who could adapt as quickly as possible when entering work. The experience of successful regions shows that it is important to have a coordinator of this joint activity. These can be councils of regional industry clusters (for example, an agricultural cluster), which includes industry enterprises, colleges, and universities. And together they agree on how many specialists to train and how. Or a single position can be represented by the regional chamber of commerce and industry, for example, it can give employers information about which educational organization it is more expedient for them to work with. It is important that employers are aware of this entry point and new training opportunities.
