What documentation should a secondary school teacher keep?
I wouldn’t want to scare my young teacher colleague, but there is enough documentation that sometimes my head is spinning. But, if you don’t start this “paper creativity”, then everything can be done.
So, what definitely needs to be documented and taught in the middle group:
- Local acts are a folder with instructions: official, occupational safety, health and life protection of children, modeled on your preschool institution. It is done once and updated periodically;
- A work program by age group for a year in accordance with the Federal State Educational Standard, compiled according to the educational program chosen by your preschool educational institution, for example, “From birth to school.” Based on the general program, you need to make such a document for your group;
- Complex thematic plans are plans for working with children by season and week of each month, where general areas of work are recorded. That is, what do you want to achieve each month. Below I will give an example of filling out for October;
- The calendar plan for educational activities is a specific, detailed plan for every day. It must be consistent with the work program and comprehensive thematic plan. Here we write down everything that we will do with the children during the day: exercise, activities, games, walks, routine moments, work with parents, etc.;
- Class grid - simplifies the planning of educational activities and is a table by day of the week, into which we enter all classes, including music and physical education;
- Pedagogical diagnostics folder - here are cards of observations of children, diagnostics and recommendations;
- A teacher’s portfolio – I wrote a separate article about it, and more than one. You need a portfolio for certification;
- Self-education folder – choose a topic and gradually fill the folder with materials;
- Pupils' attendance sheet;
- Information about children and parents;
- List of children;
- Hardening plan;
- Seating scheme for children at tables;
- Daily regime;
- Adaptation sheet;
- Journal of reception and care of pupils;
- Parent work folder;
- Minutes of parent meetings.
Planning sequence
Daily plans and goals come from weekly plans and goals. Weekly plans and goals come from monthly plans and goals. And those, in turn, depend on plans and goals for the year. Therefore, the first thing you need to start with is making plans for the year.

Comprehensive thematic planning for October for the middle group
As promised, I will show you an example of how to create a comprehensive thematic plan for October for the middle group. We use the same principle to prepare for other months, but take on other tasks. In principle, all plans are freely available on the Internet for download.

Week 1-2 theme “Autumn”. Contents of the work: expand children’s understanding of autumn as a season, give an understanding of the various signs and characteristics of autumn weather phenomena, teach them to establish basic connections between living and inanimate nature.

How to make plans and goals for the week
On Sunday evening or Monday morning, sit down at your desk to make plans for the coming week. Personally, I work better in the morning. To do this, I get up early and devote my free time to planning.
Some interesting things I can suggest are the following:
- Learn one new skill every week.
- Have a hell of a week.
If this interests you, here are two books worth reading: One Habit a Week and On the Edge. A week without self-pity."
What does a calendar plan look like for each day?
Calendar-thematic plans for each day are designed in different ways; there are ready-made magazines for sale, lined up. Typically the columns are as follows: month, day of week, day. The theme of the week is in accordance with the long-term plan, for example, as I wrote above “Autumn”, “The ABC of Politeness”, “My Favorite Toys” for October.
Then the columns are as follows: vertically – joint activities of the teacher and children, organization of a subject-development environment, support for the child’s individuality. There may be other columns at your discretion. For example, by goals: social-communicative, cognitive-speech, physical and aesthetic development.
If we choose the second option for recording the plan, then what we can write in the column “Joint activities” on the topic “Autumn” in the line cognitive and speech development:
- Observation “Autumn Trees”, examining the leaves, bark of trees that are on the site, learning to determine the difference between a tree and a bush, characterizing the shape of leaves of different plants, color.
- Encouraging children to actively communicate. We listen to the rustling of leaves, the sound of the wind, and develop sensory sensations.
- Research activity: “What do trees like?” We find out what conditions are suitable for tree growth. We develop cognitive abilities, the ability to observe, analyze, and express our thoughts.
- Problem situation: autumn is a controversial time of year. We learn to analyze the cause-and-effect relationships between natural phenomena and people’s attitudes towards them, we try to analyze the pros and cons of autumn, and we develop the ability to prove our point of view.
- Conversations on the theme of autumn. There can be many topics, I won’t list them.
- FEMP: learning to count, compare quantities, in general, according to the lesson plan.
- Didactic games. Also a great variety, define as you wish.
This is just one column filled in. You also need to fill out the rest, based on the program and long-term plan, as well as the schedule of classes. Difficult for a beginner, right? I hope I helped my young colleague a little. If anything, write, I will answer. I advise you to find a ready-made plan on the Internet and simply rewrite it, and make adjustments for yourself along the way. Should the work plans from the predecessor have remained? If you liked the article, share it with those who may need it. Also subscribe to the news, we will stay in touch.
Sincerely, Tatyana Sukhikh! Till tomorrow!

How to make plans and goals for the Year
You need to take the preparation of an annual plan seriously. After all, the results of your efforts will determine every month, week and day.
Below I've outlined a series of steps that will help you identify your key objectives without leaving anything out.
Step #1. What didn't you achieve last year?
The first thing you need to do is strain your brain and identify what you could not achieve last year. It will be much easier for those who have summed up their results.
Example:
Last year my key goal was to move to another city. But since I didn’t do this, this goal is transferred to the next 356 days.
Step #2. Highlight the main areas of life
The main areas of life include: personal growth, career, family, health and finance.
So, let's go in order.
Personal growth
Personal growth is expressed in the constant improvement of a person. Therefore, here I advise you to focus on the following:
- Training in various skills. For example, learn to dance.
- Develop healthy habits such as reading daily.
- Eliminating bad habits. For me it's to stop biting my nails.
- Development of discipline.
- Expanding your general horizons.
- etc.
Career
It all depends on your field of activity.
If you are the head of a company, decide where you want to take it this year. How will you manage the company to bring your plans to life? When do you plan to start increasing market share and saving costs?

Family
Yes, the top two areas are important in the life of every person, but because of this, one should not forget about the most valuable thing - family. In fact, many people are worried that they are spending too little time with their loved ones. By the way, this takes us back to step #1.
Schedule a long weekend with the kids, holidays, a surprise trip for your loved one, etc.
Health
Do not neglect such an important detail as maintaining your own health. Often the level of our success and happiness depends on it.
Finance
A common example is to outline a specific amount that you intend to earn in a year. You can also start investing, start donating to charity, increase your monthly income, and much more.
Step #3. Setting the goals themselves
After completing the previous steps, we proceed to the most important thing - setting specific tasks. Remember that this will set the direction for the entire year. Fix only the main and most significant tasks in the plan.
An example of my 10 goals for the year:
- Move.
- Organize my day so that I can devote time to work, sports, self-development and relaxation with my family.
- Read 15 books on self-development.
- Take at least 3 paid courses to develop in the field of internet marketing.
- Write 50 quality articles yourself.
- Reach 2000 visitors on the site per day.
- Go on a trip outside of Russia with your family.
- Switch to a healthy and balanced diet.
- Build an athletic body.
- Reach a monthly income of 50,000 rubles.
Please note that all these goals are related to the areas that I described above.
Step #4. Set deadlines for each goal
The deadline is the last step in planning, but it is a very valuable one. Deadlines stimulate acceleration and increased productivity. This will also help with future planning of the month, week and day.
Use the preposition "to" or a clear date:
- By June 1, 2022, I am buying a one-room apartment in Perm.
- On December 1, 2022, I reach 50,000 rubles in my monthly income.
Always visualize your dreams and vision for the future. Plan the year so that they manifest themselves as brightly as possible. It is worth looking at the plan for the year at least once a month - adding to it, making changes and remembering your goals.
How to make plans and goals for the day
People are divided into two types. Those who plan the night before. And those who prefer to do it in the morning. I belong to the second type. I advise you to experiment and see what suits you best.
Anyone can make a rough plan for the next year, everyone is able to plan it once a month, many are able to distribute time over the next week, but most fail in planning each day.

It sounds very “pop”, but it’s true.
If you can’t make plans for a year, month, or day, write to me at [email protected] I will be happy to give some recommendations and help you make plans absolutely free.
Basic rules for planning your day
- Make it a routine. Start each day by planning your next day.
- Set your priorities. This can be done in the letter ABC way, where A is the important tasks that need to be completed first; B – also significant goals, but they can be moved; C – unimportant tasks that can be started if there is free time left.
- Don't forget to take time to rest.
- Don't overwhelm yourself with so much work that you can't handle.
- Take stock at the end of each day. Analyze your successes and failures.
- Don't worry if things don't go according to plan.

Do you want examples? Receive.
- The Rock's day begins at 4:00. The first thing he does in the morning is half an hour of cardio. His goal is to burn 200 calories.
- Then comes the first meal.
- Next comes the second strength training.
- Second meal.
- If it's a shooting day, then he goes to shoot.
- Meal No. 3.
Here's my day's plan:
Example of plans and goals for the day
Do you need to plan your day hour by hour?
I used to be a huge proponent of having my day planned down to the minute. I've been practicing this technique for about a year now, but recently I ran into a problem.
The fact is that when I set aside a certain amount of time for a task, be it writing an article - 2 hours, I feel like I’m pushing myself into limits. I set myself a goal: during this time I need to write ¼ of the article. And this makes it difficult to fully concentrate on the task.
I began to delve into myself and realized that creativity does not require a time frame. For creative people, productivity depends on their mood and motivation. And my work partly consists of creativity and routine tasks. Frameworks are needed precisely for these routine tasks, but not for creativity.
From this follows the conclusion:
If you are a creative person, don't waste time fighting the clock - it's a battle you can't win. However, if your activity is more related to performing routine tasks, then feel free to use the “hourly schedule of the day” technique.
