Abstract
The school pedagogue’s work is based on curricula, and his or her purpose is to improve the process of education. Besides being advisers, school pedagogues mostly coordinate the work of all actors in the teaching process, and act as intermediaries between the school and the local community. To perform their everyday tasks, school
pedagogues must improve their work and raise the quality of their educational efforts. To achieve high quality performance, school pedagogues must comply with certain universal principles and objectives. This paper deals with the improvement of the school pedagogue’s performance to boost the key values of educational work. Emphasis is placed on the work that the school pedagogue does with students, teachers, expert assistants, parents, and members of the local community. If school pedagogues want to do their job and the planned tasks well, and be able to resolve everyday situations that arise in school, they have to invest in themselves, and this will lead to advancement in their careers. It is important to mention that educational workers should never be satisfied with the status quo, regardless of how successful they are at present. The objective is to improve their own work and to understand and meet the needs of students, teachers and other actors in education.
