Abstract

The article emphasizes that the quality of education and the quality of educational activities are fundamental principles of state educational policy. This means that the improvement of the work of any educational institution can be achieved primarily through continuous improvement of the quality of educational activities and involves targeted activities of managers in this direction, including the development of internal quality assurance system of education. In January 2019, the procedure for conducting an institutional audit of general secondary education institutions was approved, in the appendix all requirements for educational and management processes are spelled out. In addition, the specialists of the State Quality Service of Education of Ukraine have prepared a manual for heads of general secondary education institutions «Alphabet for the principal» with recommendations for building an internal system of quality assurance in general secondary education. Only Methodical recommendations for the development of an internal system for ensuring the quality of education have been developed for preschool institutions, the appendices of which contain requirements for the activities of pedagogical staff of preschool institutions. In this regard, it is extremely important for the management and pedagogical staff of preschool education institutions to rethink their pedagogical and managerial experience and understand the components of effective planning and quality organization of the educational process. That is why our goal is to outline the key guidelines of professional activity of pedagogical staff of preschool education institutions, which are based on the analysis of requirements and criteria by which the activity of pedagogical staff will be evaluated during the institutional audit.
