The main goal of the introduction and work of the service of school pedagogues is the application of modern theoretical and practical knowledge from pedagogy in the improvement of educational practice through 11 areas that include: planning and programming of educational work; implementation of the teaching and educational process; monitoring and evaluation of school work; improvement of edu- cational work and cooperation with teachers; work and cooperation with students; cooperation with parents; research of educational practice; work in professional institute; cooperation with professional institutions, the local community and professional development; documentation management; preparation for work.
