Principles of pedagogical partnership in action – the key to constructive cooperation teacher-students-parents

Partnership pedagogy, as a key component of the New Ukrainian School formula, is designed to transform the Ukrainian school into a lever of social equality and cohesion. Every teacher must adhere to the principles of partnership pedagogy in their practical activities in order to realize the mission of the Ukrainian National School, which consists in raising educated Ukrainians, comprehensively developed, responsible citizens and patriots, capable of development and innovation. Thanks to the application of the principles of partnership pedagogy in full, conditions are created for the development of the professional competence of the teacher, his knowledge of innovative teaching methods and technologies is expanded and updated, the teacher acquires the skills of democratization and humanization of relations between the participants of the educational process, and a positive motivational and valuable student environment is created. According to the principles of partnership pedagogy, a transition from the pedagogy of requirements to the pedagogy of relationships is assumed. This means that the style of the relationship between the teacher and the students changes somewhat: not to forbid, but to direct; not to manage, but to co-manage; not to force, but to convince; not to command, but to organize; not to limit, but to provide freedom of choice. In the presence of such conditions, the child has the right to make a mistake, his own point of view, free choice, feels the teacher's interest in his fate, optimistically takes on every task. The essence of the individual approach is changing. It should become the main result of school education, a criterion for the quality of work of a teacher, educator, head of an educational institution. This approach returns the school to the child's personality, to his inner world, where undeveloped abilities and opportunities, moral potentials of freedom and justice, goodness and happiness are waiting for their time. The purpose of the school is to awaken and bring to life these inner forces and possibilities, to use them for a more complete and free development of the personality. This is precisely what is written in the principles of partnership pedagogy.
