An important indicator of the quality of educational services in an educational institution is the level of professional activity of its teachers. The article explores the theoretical and practical foundations of determining of tools for monitoring the quality of professional activity of high school teachers. The criteria and indicators that should be applied when organizing the monitoring procedure are analyzed. The essential features of effective tools for monitoring the activities of teachers are considered. A personal typology of the attitude of teachers to pedagogical activity is developed. When creating the typology, a whole complex of professionally-personal behavior invariants was integrated. Among them are such important indicators: creative activity, initiative, responsible attitude to the fulfillment of professional tasks, the desire for independence, mental qualities (creative search is based on creative intelligence), motivational indicators (including creative interests and needs), will qualities and others. Among them can be called the negative type, which is the lowest and destructive, carrying the denial of the constructive values of the profession; a passive type – this is a higher type, which, in contrast to the negative type, affirms the constructive values of the profession, but does it passive; the performing type is even higher; he actively approves the constructive values of pedagogical activity, but does so without a creative approach; performing-creative type, it reflects a mature level of an active-positive attitude of a person to pedagogical activity, when not only activity is manifested, but also a creative approach and initiative; creative type, which is inherent in the highest level of personality development of a professional teacher; he shows a high level of activity and creativity. These criteria and typology were the basis of the methods designed to monitor the professional activities of teachers.
