Suchánková, Květa
1 Professional standard in the improvement of the teaching profession Abstract Many documents dealing with education policy consider professional standard one possible type of teachers' work stimulation. The absence of a document of this type is increasingly being felt in Czech educational environment. How can we support teacher's work in present conditions so that it reaches the highest possible quality? One of the possible solutions is to approach professional standard as a set of quality criteria and indicators that can be used in evaluation. This thesis develops an evaluation strategy using a professional standard that has been specified based on educational goals and objectives and school functions. By connecting quality indicators defined in the aforesaid standard with the components of teacher's professional behaviour (4 I) this thesis has developed an original evaluation strategy focused on teachers' work support. At creation of the evaluation strategy, proposed professional standards are utilised as a formative conception; they may serve namely to specify criteria of teacher's quality. The main purpose of the standards lies in formulation of qualification requirements for entering the profession; however, this specification also allows us to conceive the term of "above standard". The basic methods...
