A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION AS A RESOURCE FOR OVERCOMING PROFESSIONAL DEFICITS IN THE MINDSET OF TEACHERS WORKING WITH FAMILIES IN DIFFICULT SITUATIONS

Abstract

The article substantiates the possibility of overcoming the ideological deficits of teachers in working with children from families in difficult life situations through the involvement of personnel and innovative resources of non-profit organizations. Based on specific examples, the authors consider the deficits of teachers’ professional competencies related to interaction with families, innovative mechanisms used in intersectoral cooperation, and propose a model of partnership between schools and non-profit organizations that allows not only providing targeted assistance to children and families, but also developing the professional worldview of teachers. The mechanisms of transformation of the professional position of a teacher in the process of implementing child-parent projects with the participation of partners are shown. For this purpose, the case study method, supervision and pedagogical reflection were used. The most effective roles of a teacher coordinator and navigator in this situation are described. The risks and limitations of the model are indicated.
