Text

Исследование, часть которого описана в этой статье, было проведено в одном из регионов Дальневосточного федерального округа России. Оно было достаточно масштабным и охватывало различные аспекты функционирования системы общего, дополнительного образования и среднего профессионального образования в регионе. В рамках статьи обсуждаются результаты одного частного, но очень значимого направления исследования, связанного с построением модели эффективного директора, способного создать школу, обеспечивающую высокое качество обучения, поддерживать ее функционирование и искать пути развития. «Реальная практика показывает, что от директора зависит абсолютно все. Он может воскресить организацию из пепла, построить эффективную школу буквально на пустом месте и он же может привести ее к стагнации» [4, с. 46].
