A new teacher training program has been launched at Carpathian University

On November 6, the first organizational online meeting of participants in the advanced training program “Pedagogical Partnership and Modern Educational Practices” was held at the Vasyl Stefanyk Carpathian National University.

The program is designed to develop cooperation between the university and educational institutions of different levels, support professional interaction and create new opportunities for the exchange of pedagogical experience. Special attention is paid to teachers who are involved in the practical training of students and play an important role as mentors of future specialists.

The meeting was opened by Vitaliy Shkromyda, Vice-Rector for Scientific and Pedagogical Work of the Vasyl Stefanyk Carpathian National University, who came up with the idea of ​​creating this program. In his speech, he outlined its goal, main tasks and prospects for the development of partnership between the university and educational institutions. In particular, he emphasized the importance of supporting teacher mentors, recognizing their professional contribution to the training of future specialists, and creating conditions for mutual professional development.

The meeting was continued by Liliya Midak, director of the Educational and Scientific Center “Center for Innovative Teaching Methods”, who presented the concept of the program, its main directions and features of the organization.

The program includes mentoring interaction with students, participation in thematic webinars and trainings, exchange of pedagogical practices, familiarization with modern educational technologies and digital tools. An important component will be the formation of a joint Bank of Professional Findings and a Treasury of Modern Educational Practices.

A feature of the program is its practical focus: a significant part of the activity is integrated into the usual professional work of teachers, without creating an unnecessary workload. Depending on the scope of participation, advanced training is provided for 90, 120 or 150 hours.

The main idea of ​​the program is a transition from the traditional mentoring model to a full-fledged pedagogical partnership, in which the university and educational institutions not only cooperate in training future specialists, but also learn from each other, exchange experience, and jointly develop the educational environment.
