A methodological association is a group of teachers who, through joint efforts, try to solve educational and developmental problems. It includes subject teachers of humanitarian, mathematical, natural, and artistic disciplines. Separately, in each school, there is a methodological association of primary school teachers.
Structure
Depending on the specifics of the educational institution (the number of teachers) in each group there can be 4-7 teachers of one direction of activity. As part of small rural schools, a cluster educational-methodical association is being formed. Colleagues from several schools work in full-time or distance learning.
Activity Content
The work of the methodological association of teachers is quite multifaceted and diverse. Teachers analyze issues related to improving the level of educational and upbringing work, the quality of skills and knowledge of schoolchildren, and the implementation of innovative pedagogical methods. During the meetings, teachers discuss textbooks and educational sets (textbooks, workbooks), get acquainted with the results of testing innovations.
The work of the methodological association is associated with the compilation of a variety of verification tests and tests for students, as well as a detailed study of the results of their implementation.
Nature of activity
Methodological association is a group of creative and bright colleagues. Their work is carried out according to a clear plan. It formulates the features of the pedagogical work of teachers of this profile, sets goals and objectives for the new academic year, identifies the main pedagogical and organizational measures:
- examination of materials;
- cabinet design;
- identification of topics for self-education;
- creating a schedule for open classes and extracurricular activities;
- identification of topics for meetings.
MO leadership
Who leads the methodological association? Primary classes are mainly supervised by the Deputy Director for OIA, and the head of the group is appointed by one of the teachers, who enjoys well-deserved respect and trust from his colleagues. At the end of each half-year, a report is prepared on the work of the Ministry of Defense, in which the areas of activity and the results are noted.
For example, a methodological association of educators is created on the basis of a preschool institution. It includes creative and vibrant people who are looking for optimal educational techniques when working with the younger generation.
Methodological association is a set of like-minded people interested in improving their own intellectual and professional level.

Reporting
Since the methodological association is a group that is created by order of the director of the educational organization, its leader draws up a report on the work in the form chosen in the school (kindergarten). What should be included in reporting? First of all, own education is noted. Methodological associations - a form of work that allows you to increase the professionalism of a modern teacher. We offer a variant of the report on the work of the SEC MO for the six months.
R&D: “A system-activity approach in the formation and development of schoolchildren in the implementation of educational standards of a new generation.”
Objectives of the activity:
- the formation of basic competencies among students by involving them in practical activities;
- identification of optimal teaching methods and educational programs in technical and natural sciences;
- systematization of the best experience of subject teachers;

Tasks of the creative group of teachers of the ESC
The work of teachers is aimed at solving the following problems:
- the formation of a positive situation, increasing the motivation of students to motivate them to acquire new skills;

To increase the level of teaching, teachers systematically undergo coursework. During the period under review, ESC teachers mastered the following courses:
- "The solution of the tasks of the exam and the exam: mathematics", 48 hours;
- "Computer science and programming in grades 8-11", 72 hours;
- "The solution of the tasks of the exam and the exam: mathematics", 24 hours;

Work with talented children
Special attention in any methodological association is paid to the organization of work with gifted and talented children.
