A famous teacher passed away. RAO Academician Mikhail Petrovich Shchetinin.

Mikhail Petrovich died at the age of 75.

This was announced today by the scientific director of the Institute for Educational Policy Problems "Eureka" Alexander Adamskiy. “Today is November 10, 2019, at 9 hours 12 minutes in the morning, the heart of Mikhail Petrovich Shchetinin stopped. Eternal memory to the great teacher. Rest in peace, dear friend,”wrote Alexander Adamskiy on his Facebook page.

Mikhail Shchetinin was born in 1944 in the Kizlyar region of the Dagestan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. He was a graduate of the Saratov Pedagogical Institute. The innovative ideas of the teacher in the 1970s and 1980s are widely known.

In 1994, Mikhail Shchetinin created an experimental boarding school in the village of Tekos, Krasnodar Territory. This year, the school was closed, which caused outrage among representatives of the educational community.

To go beyond the dry language of the obituary, you need to remember the Light deeds of this Kind Man.

School of Academician Mikhail Petrovich Shchetinin is an experimental general education school, created in its current form in 1994 in the village of Tekos, Krasnodar Territory.

Mikhail Shchetinin is known throughout Russia for using innovative methods in pedagogy that contribute to early creative development. His students graduate from high school at the age of 14, and by the age of 18-20 they have three higher educations.

His experience and his pedagogical findings are studied by teachers from different countries.

Several times he became "Person of the Year" in the field of education.

The World Organization of UNESCO three times recognized the educational system developed by him as the best in the world and put the name of Mikhail Shchetinin in the list of the greatest people of the past millennium.

Shchetinin's pedagogical system is based on several principles:

The first of them is the spiritual and moral development of a person. Love for one's neighbor and love for God, love for the Motherland. Spirituality is not declared at the level of rules and moral teachings, but is demonstrated by the own behavior of adults and children.

The second principle, which can be considered the key to mastering knowledge, is striving for knowledge. At Shchetinin's school, they study by immersion in groups of different ages, and then each student can be in the role of a teacher and explain to colleagues everything related to the studied topic. Being a teacher is very responsible and honorable.

The third foundation of life at school is a love of work. Students with their own hands, in the literal sense of the word, build the world around them in which they live. They are proud of their real life achievements. The feeling of beauty, the vision of beauty in the environment, the manifestation of creativity in all aspects of everyday life, as well as powerful physical training based on Russian hand-to-hand combat as a way of self-defense and helping to remove the attacker's aggression are two more areas that do not go unnoticed in this pedagogical system, but occupy a very important place.

The Shchetinin school in Tekos, or rather, the boarding school for the complex formation of the personality of children and adolescents is already 20 years old. All these years at the helm of this bold experiment was the honored teacher of the Russian Federation, professor, academician of the Russian Academy of Education, teacher-innovator Mikhail Petrovich Shchetinin.

The principles of Shchetinin's school can be taken as the basis for home and family education.

It should be noted with bitterness that just before the beginning of the school year, by a court decision, the school was sealed by bailiffs.

As it was noted in one of the posts dedicated to the death of Mikhail Petrovich - "Apparently, the teacher's heart could not stand the closure of his brainchild …".

Academician of the Russian Academy of Education, Doctor of Psychology, Honorary President of the International Center for Humane Pedagogy Shalva Amonashvili spoke in defense of the school from the pages of the Uchitelskaya Gazeta.
