My mission is to educate
18.03.2019
My mission is EDUCATOR There are many different missions in the world, And each has its own charm. But there is no nobler, more necessary and more wonderful, the one that I chose! I am an educator Indeed, how many different missions people have... And everyone is worthy of respect and attention... But what is my mission, the mission of an educator, in our time? “...Perhaps our work is inconspicuous in appearance, but I only know one thing - the kids are rushing to our garden, hurrying their mother in the morning - come on quickly, mom, let's run! Probably - this is the answer - there is nothing more valuable in the world than our work. To give love to the little ones, the curious ones, for whom I am an affectionate mother, a reliable friend, a wise teacher, an attentive psychologist, a kind wizard. It is so important to cultivate a personality in a child, to be able to sow knowledge and goodness. Make you think, reflect and believe. After all, the teacher is not given anything else.” What else is special about my mission? I believe that this is a search. Search for a little man or even a Man! Searching for the key to each baby, i.e. respect his individuality, treat the child as an individual, respect him entirely and give him joy and love. It is very important that before developing a child’s personality, you need to become a personality yourself. Janusz Korczak wrote: “Know and educate yourself before you educate your children.” One Eastern saying says: “The work of a teacher can be compared to the work of a gardener growing various plants. One plant loves the light of the sun, another loves the cool shade; one loves the bank of a stream, the other a dry mountain peak; one grows on sandy soil, the other on oily, clayey soil. “Everyone needs special care that is only suitable for him, otherwise he will not achieve perfection in his development.” It’s the same in my work: every child needs love and understanding of his individuality. Only in love is the uniqueness of each child revealed, his image revealed. As Vissarion Grigorievich Belinsky said, “Educating does not mean only feeding and nursing, but also giving direction to the heart and mind!” How wonderful it is to plant the sprouts of future characters, support them with your love, give them, these restless creatures, the warmth of your heart. Remembering these endless “Where? When? Why?”, the energy of the children, overflowing! It makes you forget everything, gives you a feeling of eternal youth! Currently, the preschool education system is experiencing a transition period. The old principles of work are gradually becoming obsolete, and they are being replaced by new pedagogical ideas. Today, more than ever, the teacher’s responsibility to society for the quality of children’s upbringing is increasing. Therefore, I am looking for new approaches to children’s minds and intellect in order to become a model, an example to follow, I am trying to develop new pedagogical thinking in myself and, in joint activities, take the position of a child. My slogan: “For a modern child, a modern teacher!” So what should a modern educator be like? Go forward, master innovative technologies, unconventional methods, but also must not forget the good old things, preserved by the people for centuries, be patient, friendly, erudite, with a developed sense of empathy, because the teacher has to work not only with children, but also with parents. It is necessary to learn to respect not only children, but also parents, and take their opinions into account. Parents' trust is the first step towards gaining authority. To enjoy authority among children, parents and colleagues means to receive appreciation of one’s moral qualities, culture, erudition, and dedication to the profession. The ability to fight for your authority, value it, and support the authority of parents and colleagues is given only to a teacher who is dedicated to his work. Among the necessary personality traits of a teacher, one can also highlight: conscientiousness, self-demandingness, initiative, patience and endurance. My entire teaching activity is a “Ladder of Success”, the four steps of which correspond to the levels of mastery of the activity. The first step marks the stage of familiarization with a new activity or project. The child acts as a “CHARMING spectator”, and I, as an ARTIST, am a gypsy, a clown, a fox, a wizard until the child is really “charmed” and says “I want to repeat that too!” At the Second Step, my children and I, as “delicious conversationalists,” engage in activities that interest us, but the child also needs the assistance of an adult, a dialogue with him. “Tasty” as long as it’s interesting. I must show great patience and skill in order to remain a “tasty companion” for the pupil longer. The third step is the level of independence. Here, every child has the opportunity to become a participant in a new activity, regardless of the help of an adult. Here I act as the “Conductor” of joint children’s activities, i.e. I direct the child in the right direction, and children at this stage are “caring performers.” The last fourth step is the peak and at the same time the start for new beginnings. Children, having learned to do something on their own, turn into ARTISTS, creators. In other words, a child who has learned to rise to the pinnacle of success will continue to build his life as a path from a student to a master, the creator of a unique individuality. And my peak turns out to be the mirror opposite. Now I am a charming spectator, discovering new and amazing things in a child.

Essay “Modern educator - what is he like?”
A modern teacher - what is he like??
kindergarten teacher In the 21st century, raising a new generation is one of the priorities in education, and teacher plays a special role in this process - he lays in the child the foundations that will allow him to further learn, develop, socialize and find his place in life.
Modern educators must meet certain requirements dictated to them by our society and the new generation of children. In the Soviet Union, when the generation of children was completely different, completely different requirements were placed on educators in the preschool education system than they are now. Children have changed, which means the approach to them, the principle of education , and the people who work with them must fully comply with these changes in order to be on the same wavelength with the child and give him the maximum benefit from his stay within the preschool walls.
today are very enthusiastic, curious, creative and precocious. It is this fact that makes necessary the constant and comprehensive development of the teacher as a professional personality. He should be able to do almost everything - sew, knit, play all possible modern games , craft, sing and dance with children, preferably be able to play musical instruments, at least the simplest (harmonica, spoons, etc., have a good knowledge of children's literature and folk crafts.The kindergarten teacher to perceive the good and the beautiful, and teach him to separate good from evil, through music, nature or poetry.
Another important factor in the development of a modern preschool teacher is the knowledge of non-traditional techniques of upbringing , learning and playing with children, knowledge and ability to use modern technologies in their work in order to effectively implement the recommendations of the Federal State Educational Standard.
In addition, the teacher must be an excellent psychologist who knows how to get along well with any child, finds an approach to him and be able to attract his attention. The same applies to working with parents. In the 21st century, most parents are very demanding of kindergarten teachers , and his task is not only to be a professional in his field and do quality work, but also to be able to win over any parent.
A modern educator is a person who combines the traits of a psychologist, an artist, a friend, a mentor, etc. The creative potential of a student depends on the creative potential of the educator , so great attention must be paid to the development of creative imagination. This is a person who cares about the child’s health, the psychological climate in the team, is independent and demanding, first of all, of himself.
One could list the requirements for a modern kindergarten teacher for a very long time, however, it is worth noting that all of the above requirements, and many other criteria, cannot be met without the most important thing - love for one’s profession and for children. Working with children of any age is incredibly difficult and responsible, and only boundless love for his work allows a teacher to do his job in such a way that it brings joy and benefit to everyone - himself, the children, and the parents.

ESSAY “I am an educator”What is a modern educator like?
“The ability to educate is still an art, the same art as playing the violin or piano well, or painting well”.
A. S. Makarenko.
The requirements for current educators are very high. Parents are sure that a kindergarten teacher must have at least a pedagogical education. He must be able to sing, dance, know all developmental techniques and actively use them in classes with children in kindergarten. As well as knowledge of age and individual characteristics, mastery of methods of working with children help the teacher to successfully lead children from group to group, raise them in development and education from step to step.
The teacher leads the unique process of formation of the human personality, incomparable in its complexity and beauty. The work of a kindergarten teacher is educational. The solution to the main task - the education of a comprehensively developed personality - includes learning in the classroom. That is, the formation in a child of a variety of knowledge, skills and abilities available to him, necessary for the successful acquisition of his native language, the elementary fundamentals of mathematics, the development of visual arts, etc. A preschool teacher teaches the child the basics of independence, rules of behavior in society, prepares the child for entering school. Preparing a child for school involves learning mental arithmetic skills, drawing, and developing fine motor skills with the help of plasticine, construction sets, and other handy tools.
The main method in teaching, developing and raising children is play. Modern, wise educators prohibit little and play a lot. After all, children live in play, seeing from their own experience how unpleasant it is when someone who is indecisive is offended, and how joyful it is to receive help when you need it.
Constant communication with the child is the most important job function of a teacher. The teacher must be able to give age-appropriate answers to many questions. The life of children in a preschool institution depends on how correctly and how quickly the teacher finds an approach to each child and is able to organize it, whether the children will be calm, affectionate, and sociable or whether they will grow up restless, wary, and withdrawn. Caring for the state of life of a child in preschool institutions, carrying out all modes of activities - eating, sleeping, hardening, walking, physical exercise - are the main responsibility of the teacher. Children are taught to tie shoelaces and fasten zippers . Use a spoon, fork, handkerchief. Correctly speak, sing, dance, draw, make friends, etc.
However, the most important thing in the work of a kindergarten teacher is his responsibility for each child. It is he who makes sure that there are no broken noses and knees, as well as broken arms and legs in the child’s life.
The teacher not only organizes the work of the children's team as a whole, but also the personal relationships between children. The appearance of the teacher plays an important role in raising children. They love it very much if the teacher is charming, neatly dressed and well-combed, cheerful and cheerful, and has a sense of humor. Pleasant appearance and gentle demeanor attract not only children, but also make a good impression on parents.
A modern educator must love children, because education is a long process that requires great patience and generosity.
The teacher must know and be able to do a lot. The task ahead is not a simple one - to teach a child to perceive and understand everything beautiful in the world; nature, music, poetry. The teacher must be able to: sew, craft, play and sing with children. A teacher should always be interesting for his children. In at least one thing, he must have some special abilities, for example: to be an excellent actor or a good singer. And he needs to read a lot. He must have a good knowledge of children's fiction.
The teacher must constantly improve his skills, using the achievements of pedagogical science and best practice. We must move forward, master innovative technologies, unconventional methods, but we must not forget the good old things, for example, oral folk art. A teacher needs a variety of knowledge to satisfy the curiosity of a modern child and help him understand the world around him.
The necessary qualities of a modern teacher are patience and kindness, because a teacher has to work not only with children, but also with parents. It is necessary to learn to respect parents, to take their opinions into account, even if it differs from the teacher’s ideas about pedagogy.
There are many professions in the world, but this profession is not chosen, SHE chooses! There are no random people here; they simply cannot live in this state. What does it mean for me to be a teacher? Not an opportunity to teach children something, raising them every moment, but to communicate with them every day, discovering new things.
Children change, and I change too. Take off. I like to talk about the world around me through the eyes of children. Find joy and satisfaction in this. For me, a teacher is not a profession, not a social position, not a job. Being a teacher for me means living.
Every morning when I come to work I see the eyes of my children. In some there is wariness, in others there is interest, in others there is hope, in others there is still indifference. How different they are! Everyone has their own idea, their own special world that cannot be destroyed, which must be helped to open up.
I am sure that children should be loved for who they are. Instill in them a sense of self-esteem and responsibility for themselves and their actions. Praise, encourage, approve, create a positive atmosphere around him.
What qualities should a modern teacher have? These are eternal values: kindness, sincerity, love for one’s work and for people, knowledge of the characteristics of child psychology, the ability to teach and create, continuous self-education and self-knowledge. A modern educator is a friend with whom you can have a heart-to-heart talk, trust your innermost secrets, and receive advice and support. He must be equally attentive and fair to everyone, so that each of them can feel his warmth, care and love in their hearts. It is important for a child to be perceived as an individual with all his strengths and weaknesses, since those around him have a special influence, among whom the teacher is by no means the least important. A true teacher is a student of his students, so a modern teacher is constantly in search. It is impossible to help with what you do not know or do yourself. Modern children, even without the help of adults, receive a huge flow of information: they watch TV, use cell phones, computers, and the Internet. This means that even higher demands are placed on the level of education of the educator of the future. Already in our time, and even more so in the future, the main task of teachers is not just to teach, but to teach how to learn, that is, to show the most convenient way to obtain information, analyze it and use it competently, so I need to learn how to work with ICT myself. I would say this: “The educator of the future should not keep up with the times, but one step forward . By receiving knowledge from the media, the child retains it in his head, we get a literate, educated person, but unspiritual. A modern teacher must not only know how to instill in a child love for his neighbor, for nature, society, work, awareness, and the value foundations of life - goodness, truth, beauty. Be an example for your child and lead an active lifestyle. Rationally plan your working day and be able to actively relax: find time to visit the theater, exhibitions, participate in the public life of the city, school, go on hikes and excursions with your family. And I’m not very good at this; I have practically no time to rest.
Yes, a modern educator must use modern pedagogical technologies, but not at the expense of the best human qualities. For all ages, a teacher remains, first of all, . ” The best source for me is folk pedagogy. If doctors and psychologists use fairy tales to treat children in difficult life situations, for teachers these are life lessons - a storehouse of folk wisdom. You can talk about good and evil a hundred times, but the result will be zero. In the hands of a modern teacher, the most perfect weapon is the word, so you need to remember the commandment: “Do no harm” and skillfully use fairy tales in your activities, taking into account the psychological and physiological characteristics of primary school age. A modern educator, I believe, should be a good storyteller and storyteller. A skillfully told fairy tale provides not so much knowledge as information for thought, and also relieves psychological and emotional stress, promotes the development of imagination and fantasy. I think being a teacher is difficult, but possible. The main thing is to learn to be happy. After all, an unhappy teacher will never raise a happy person. A happy teacher's students experience a state of happiness: they act, create, feel that they are loved and wish them well. More than two thousand years ago, Socrates said: “There is a sun in every person, just let it shine . The teacher is called upon to be an authority for children and their parents, and together with the family to solve the responsible tasks of education. The country trusts them with what is most precious—its future.
