"- Valentina Viktorovna, tell us about yourself and your profession.
- I am a teacher of Russian language and literature.
- Where did you study?
- Studied at the Karelian State Pedagogical Institute.
- Why did you choose this profession?
- I love literature, I am interested in theater. The school had teachers with whom it was very interesting. I studied in Petrozavodsk, changed several schools and until the 6th grade I was among the three students, and in the 6th grade my class teacher looked at me in a new way. Ekaterina Ivanovna gave me instructions, which I willingly completed. She gave me the opportunity to express myself. So I became a leader for many years, changed my attitude to learning, and most importantly, I understood how a meeting with a real teacher can change a person. Therefore, the question "Who to be?" did not stand.
- Did you work at school? How long?
- For 6 years I worked at the Shuya secondary school.
- What attracts you to your profession?
- Teaching is a noble job.
What does it mean to you to be a teacher?
- Being a teacher means giving knowledge, teaching professions, educating, teaching. Respect the personality, those with whom you work, do not humiliate children, and therefore do not drop your human dignity. I think I have flaws, but I'm sure of one thing: I never got even with my students.
- Was there a person in your life whom you consider to be your Teacher?
- Many teachers made an impression, not only at school, but also at the university. I read a lot about the teaching profession, watched films about the school. A math teacher at school 9 advised us to watch as many films as possible.
- What do you see as the "secret" of your pedagogical success?
- Despite the title, I can not say that I have pedagogical skills. I am responsible for my profession. As K.I. Chukovsky: "If you want to be loved, love." Love your subject, love your students, love the country you live in. Then the feeling of responsibility for your work will come.
- What do you consider your main pedagogical achievement?
- The main pedagogical achievement is that many of my students have chosen the profession of a teacher and work at school.
- What is the most difficult part of your job?
- Evgeny Yamburg said about the troubles of the modern school: "A school is a place where students interfere with the teacher's work with papers." I would rather work with students, gifted students, than work with documents.
- You were the head teacher of the PPK, how long did you work in this position? How difficult is it?
- In difficult years, I was deputy director for 15 years. It was interesting to work. During these years, the Pedagogical School received the official status of a college, new areas of training specialists were introduced. Closely cooperated with universities on the program of cross-cutting education. The college included a lyceum, in which gifted children studied mathematics and philological disciplines and, according to the results of the exams, entered the Pedagogical University.
What do you think are the strengths and weaknesses of your profession?
- The advantage lies in the fact that you work with young people and for a while you put aside thoughts about age. The disadvantages can be frankly attributed to emotional burnout.
– Do you need any special qualities for a person who has decided to become a specialist in this field?
- Of course, it is necessary to be humane, to be able to empathize, sympathize, rejoice, otherwise no knowledge will save.
– What profession is your job similar to and what do these professions have in common?
- None. The teaching profession is unique.
- Do you remember your graduates? Do you communicate?
- I remember they often visit, everyone says hello, I'm glad to see everyone.
Who was your top student in high school and college?
- I can’t say, all the roads, I see some more often, others less often, but I love everyone very much.
- And finally, a traditional question: what would you like to wish future teachers - today's students?
“I would wish them health, patience and endurance, and the desire to work in the profession.”
