Descriptors and Indicators of Teacher's Life Safety in the Modern Changing World

Abstract

Pedagogical activity, coupled with a variety of variable situations of interaction, a high degree of social responsibility and total changes for several decades, forms a stable feeling of frustration among professional teachers, a reduced emotional background, and provokes various professional deformations. The current state of the problem of a teacher's life safety is rarely the subject of scientific research, and primarily in pedagogy. The purpose of the study is the theoretical substantiation of descriptors and indicators of a modern teacher’s life safety and the empirical approbation of a criterion-based evaluation system for its diagnosis. The paper substantiates the main descriptors of teacher safety, according to which indicators are selected and diagnostic procedures are chosen to assess the real state of safe life of a modern teacher. As a result, the lack of personal resources in the life of a teacher; unpreparedness for self-change; the low state of well-being and life satisfaction of a modern teacher are proved. The proposed criteria-based assessment system can become the first stage towards the preservation of teaching staff; the basis for the development of programs in the system of professional development and in-house training for the development of personal potential, the multiplication of personal resources of teaching staff.
