Management of changes in the general education school, taking into account the development of creative economy

Abstract

The article makes an attempt to understand approaches to change management using the example of a particular general education school, taking into account the new challenges associated with preparing the younger generation for life in a creative economy. The author solves the problem of developing methods and tools that allow improving the quality of the educational process by combining the introduction of necessary innovations dictated by time, taking into account the interests of the child's psychological and physical health. Despite the apparent impossibility of this task, the author of the article together with the governing Board, administration and staff of the Moscow school No. 2030 set a goal to create a new, effective change management mechanism based on a specific school, which allows finding the best balance by goals, results, resources and time budget. As a ‘pilot' (‘experimental' - in quotes, since, according to the current legislation, conducting experiments in education is possible only by a decision of the Government of the Russian Federation), a school has been chosen in which the author has recently been chairman of the Governing Council. The governing board of the school is established and operates on the basis of the statute of a school. The Statute itself is developed on the basis of the methodological recommendations of the Department of Education of the city of Moscow and fully complies with the current legislation. Statutory rights and duties of the Council, the authority of its members can be an additional resource for the successful implementation of the plan.
