60 young teachers — representatives of all 12 SPbPU institutes — have become graduates of the retraining program "Pedagogical Start". The program is a mandatory part of the career trajectory "Intern", intended for master's students and final-year specialists, as well as postgraduate students planning their professional career as a teacher or researcher.
The program participants successfully defended their final theses and received diplomas of professional retraining. Many of them will continue their teaching activities in the new academic year as assistants.
"The career trajectory "Intern" was launched for the first time at the Polytechnic University this academic year as part of the implementation of the policy in the field of forming career trajectories for the professional development of teaching staff from among the faculty," said Lyudmila Pankova, Vice-Rector for Educational Activities at SPbPU. "Graduates of the "Pedagogical Start" program are our successor, who will help current teachers transform the university's educational programs to achieve technological leadership in our country."
The professional retraining program "Pedagogical Start" included a large block of theoretical training, allowing to master modern educational technologies, regulatory foundations of pedagogical activity, methods of working in the digital environment of SPbPU, as well as pedagogical internship under the guidance of mentors – leading teachers of higher schools and departments of the university.
The pedagogical internship became the core of the entire retraining program, allowing the interns, on the one hand, to adopt the experience of the best teachers in the relevant professional field, and on the other hand, to apply all the theoretical knowledge they had acquired in practice, trying themselves out as teachers, noted Elena Zima, Director of the SPbPU Education Quality Center and Head of the Pedagogical Start program.
During the defense of their final theses, the interns presented their experience of implementing the chosen teaching method and the developed fragment of the online course in the electronic information and educational environment of the Polytechnic. It is especially valuable and worthy of respect that the newly-minted teachers mastered the program in parallel with the preparation of diplomas in the main educational programs.
