Technology of co-generation of innovative solutions in the system of informal training of heads of educational organizations

The research problem and the rationale for its relevance. The sphere of education is responsible for the pace and efficiency of implementation of the innovative paradigm of development of the Russian Federation. However, not all members of pedagogical teams have a positive attitude to the ongoing changes. Therefore, the problem of reducing resistance to innovative changes on the part of pedagogical staff is topical. With its good theoretical development, there remains an acute shortage of practical technologies for working with the team, which will increase the speed of innovation and reduce the resistance of individual members of the team. The goal of the research is to develop and test for informal training of heads of educational institutions technology development and adoption of innovative solutions that minimize resistance on the part of the teaching staff. Methodology. On the basis of the activity approach the author's technology of development and adoption of a collective decision CoGIS (an acronym of “co-generation of innovative solutions”) was developed. The technology can be used both by the school principal and by a facilitator (an employee respected in the team). The essence of the technology is to reduce resistance at the cognitive, emotional and behavioral levels of members of the pedagogical team with the help of specially developed methods, tools and forms. The stages of technology implementation are presented. Results. The technology has been extensively tested in the Chelyabinsk region enterprises, as well as in three educational organizations. The presented data show that the reduction of resistance to innovation occurs due to changes in the positions and behavior of employees who are potentially unprepared for changes in their professional activities. The conditions increasing the efficiency of CoGIS technology application are noted.
