Sometimes success is attributed to simple luck. But Gulzhayna Ashanovna knows that professional recognition is always comes by the fruitful work. In Nazarbev Intellectual school teacher she gained a great working experience. However, this is where she was given the opportunity to do the practice in the classroom. Freedom of action was reinforced by learning new things in various courses for teachers on critical thinking, an information-computer technologies, research, of best practices abroad. All this she immediately implemented in their work, which, together with her love of children helped to strengthen the interest of students in the subject. Students are deeply interested in biology began to read more professional literature, conduct experiments in class at school or in the field.     

Already in the short time they began to take part in various competitions and show excellent results. To illustrate, it is enough to list the students - winners of international and republican Olympiads and competitions of scientific projects. Bolat Seilhanov took 1st place in the international intellectual festival of scientific projects in Greece, 2012. Orazgaliev Dinar - 2nd place in the national Olympiad on subjects in 2012, and Kamila Zaynoldina -3 th in the same competition in 2013-.

 PEDAGOGICAL RESEARCH

Modern educational process is developing rapidly, and a successful teacher must constantly improve themselves to meet the new requirements. I chose the words of my coach: «The teacher should talk less and listen more» as my motto. Twice a year, my colleagues and I take part in seminars to discuss modern approaches in the field of teaching language.

This experience not only promotes productive work, but also makes it possible to expand the theoretical knowledge base, helps to identify jointly research topics of current interests, and school research projects.

TEACHER-RESEARCHER

As my research topic I have chosen the theme: "Improving students communication skills  through the introduction of new approaches to teaching.” "Learning how to learn" and "dialogic learning"modules have been taken as the basis of the research. On the lessons of Russian language and literature I form a conscious reading of students applying critical thinking development technology. One of the methods of work - writing essays of various styles, which contributes to the development of analytical reading skills.

I pay my attention on a special role for the formation of creative abilities of gifted students. After all, the important part of the literature lessons is to cultivate a sense of beauty and introduction to art. The clear evidence of effective work in this direction is the theater festival held in our school.

TEACHER-METHODOLOGIST

Seminars and master classes in the Integrated criteria-based assessment model, in which I take part every year, contribute to the improvement of my professional knowledge of evaluation.

At the seminar in Almaty I have developed assignments for assessment, which contributed to the understanding of the correctness of the success criteria not only for teachers of humanities, but for Science teachers as well.

When the great hockey player Wayne Gretzky was asked how he manages to show such a great game, he replied: "I do not run to where the puck is now, to where the puck will be."

This competition is very popular as we try to combine academic and practical application of Geometry.

The system of  students ‘evaluation is very important for their successful development and educational achievements.

Counseling young colleagues on issues related to the evaluation process proceeds to the discussion, which helps them not only  to understand its mission deeper but also to disclose the advantages and disadvantages of various methods.

Galina Bazarbaevna is a teacher-trainer of the 3rd level professional development courses. As a trainer, she tries to show the connection between effective teaching with the susceptibility of the teacher to a student's personality. All approaches, considered in the process of training courses,  are aimed at teaching  a student to learn, helping  him to become independent, self-motivated and self-confident personality.

CREATIVE PROJECT

Children explore opportunities of the software environment "Mathematical Designer», Geogebra and other applications. ICT not only makes learning Mathematics more attractive to students, but also creates a wider opportunities in their development of research skills and the ability to think critically.

Organization of Mathematics clubs is an additional possibility to extend the scope of the subject and consider children’s interests, which are  not included in the school program. As a result, some of the students are able to achieve good results in direct and indirect competitions at various levels.
