2.4. Current status of teacher training activities according to professional standards in high schools in Ly Nhan district

In recent years, in response to the requirements of fundamental and comprehensive innovation in education and training, training activities for teachers and staff have been considered an essential part of the school's educational activities. In order to build a team according to standards, improve political capacity, professional expertise and professional ethics, and meet the requirements of education and training in the current period, the school has set a task for each teacher and staff to have 120 training periods according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training. In order to meet the political tasks of each school year and based on the practical situation, following the motto of training each weak point, high schools in Ly Nhan district have had a plan to direct the implementation of quality and effective training activities for staff. All teachers and staff of the school have implemented a training plan on new issues in assessing professional standards, on guiding students in scientific research, on teaching integrated energy saving and efficient use, on innovation in professional activities, and on viewpoints.

of the Ministry of Education and Training, on the policy of changing books, on the content and new textbooks for each subject, on training in active teaching methods, using modern teaching aids and equipment... The annual thematic training activities have had a positive effect, linking knowledge training with pedagogical practice. Training materials, teaching aids and equipment are quite well prepared. Thanks to the training activities, the qualifications of the teaching staff are constantly improved, contributing to improving the quality of the staff comprehensively in terms of awareness, equipping and supplementing basic knowledge in a systematic manner. In the training contents, the training of the staff according to the Professional Standards has received high support from the teaching staff in the school, is a positive solution to improve the quality of the staff, promoting and encouraging the teaching staff to strive to study and practice, meeting the requirements of educational innovation. Although Ly Nhan district high schools have carried out the task of training teachers according to the training plan and content of the Department and the Ministry of Education and Training, through participating in the implementation of standardized training activities, we found that the training still has shortcomings such as: short training time; heavily dependent on teachers' self-training; training content is not specific and practical; training methods are heavy on theory, not focusing on training practical skills; some teachers teaching training are limited in professional capacity, lack of practical experience; teacher training activities are still largely implemented; post-training assessment and evaluation have not received due attention. Therefore, the school's staff training activities face two difficulties: first, most teachers do not deeply understand the requirements of the Standards, do not properly evaluate themselves according to the Standards, so they cannot accurately identify the issues that need to be trained, and are confused in the process of striving to achieve the Standards. Second, due to incorrect awareness of the meaningful role of the Standards in improving teachers' capacity, the training and development of the team has not really followed the Standards.

Through the survey of the results of teacher evaluation according to the Standards of Ly Nhan district high schools in the 2015-2016 school year, we found the current situation of teacher evaluation management as follows: The school's Board of Directors gave each professional group leader a document guiding teacher evaluation according to the Standards, gave preliminary instructions to the group leaders on the method of implementing teacher evaluation according to the Standards, and the professional group leaders implemented it in the professional groups. The school has not made any moves to build a reference system. Teachers rely on each individual's perception to apply the Standards according to their own understanding. And the evaluation of teachers according to the Standards is conducted as follows:

Step 1. Teachers self-assessment: the school has conducted self-assessment by teachers according to the Standards (shown through the teacher's assessment form). Specifically, teachers self-review the standards and criteria to see which criteria they have achieved, to what extent, with evidence or not, and still score and classify themselves from there to draw out strengths, weaknesses, directions for improvement and directions for promotion. The results of teachers' self-assessment are as follows:

Step 2. Professional group assessment: Teachers present their self-assessment results to the group, then group members comment and give feedback on the results that their colleagues have self-assessed. Basically, teachers agree with their colleagues' self-assessment results, unless there is clear evidence, they will have objections. Then the professional group summarizes the results and submits them to the Board of Directors.

Step 3. Principal evaluation: after receiving the evaluation results from teachers and professional groups, the principal organizes a meeting of the emulation council. The members of the emulation council include the Party cell secretary, principal, vice principal, head of professional groups, union president, and people's inspector. The emulation council reviews the self-evaluation results of each teacher (teacher self-evaluation form) and the evaluation and classification results of the professional group (teacher evaluation form of the professional group and summary form of teacher classification of the professional group), reaches a consensus, and finally the principal makes a decision to evaluate and classify each teacher in the school.

Chart 2.3.Rate of teachers' teaching capacity classification according to Professional Standards

Thus: there is no consistency in the assessment of teaching capacity of high school teachers in Ly Nhan district between the teacher assessment records according to Professional Standards and management practices, interviews, and investigations. The reasons are:

Regarding teachers' self-assessment: most teachers do not deeply understand the requirements of the Standards; many teachers' self-assessment is not close to reality, and they give themselves quite high scores compared to what they have achieved, leading to difficulties for the team and the school board if they do not perceive it fairly and accurately; the biggest difficulty for teachers is finding evidence for the criteria and standards, stemming from the fact that when striving, they do not know what to do and how to do it to meet the requirements of the Standards.

Regarding the assessment of the professional team: when assessing colleagues, due to lack of preparation of evidence, teachers do not have an accurate basis for assessment, so their opinions are subjective and unconvincing, the assessment results of the team are not much different from the self-assessment results of the teachers; the fear of having to assess colleagues leads to higher assessment of colleagues than the actual results that colleagues have achieved.

Regarding the principal's assessment: in reality, the school's Board of Directors has only been able to manage some aspects of teachers' activities, mainly through class observation and collecting teachers' and students' comments through survey forms. The Board of Directors has not been able to oversee all teachers' activities as required by the Standards. The evidence corresponding to each requirement of the criteria has not been clearly defined and has not been made public.

transparency. These reasons make the Board of Directors' assessment still emotional and one-sided.

From the analysis, we all realize that practical measures are needed to solve the above situation. Only then can we ensure that the training of teachers is in accordance with the quality management process.

At the Department level, the reporters are taken from schools in the province, this team will participate in training courses of the Ministry of Education and Training and then deploy to teachers of schools at conferences organized by the Department of Education and Training. At present, the school has also built a core team of teachers, who are group leaders.
