"Seven teachers! Magic number, isn’t it? These teachers, saying without fanfare, are the best in the republic, if not in the entire Central Asian region. The best in the sense that they keep up to date in application of advanced information technology. Smart boards, mobile applications and coolest animation chips. In a word, our teachers make every effort to conduct their lessons at a high quality level using all sorts of innovative and interactive teaching methods. It was incredibly pleasant that the rector of AlmaU Kurganbaeva Gulmira Amanzholovna several times called the contest finalists "a magnificent seven" very nicely and warm. True, this is a magnificent seven! They are our G7! What languages they spoke today !!!!! There were whole quotes in the original languages !!! My admiration, Saule Momynova! The first place went to the young teacher, Mr. Ostrovsky, who was tempered as steel, having passed all the stages of training at AlmaU, becoming its best teacher today. I came to support my colleague of Graduate School of Public Policy and Law, Doctor of Law, Professor Olga Verbovaya. It was one of the best performances at the contest !!! The hall stood up after the announcement of all her awards and achievements! For me, it is a great pride to work with a woman erudite, colonel, meticulous researcher, whose textbooks are used by more than one generation of law students! It should also be noted, Ms. Verbovaya was the first female investigator in Kazakhstan state (national) security bodies. In the nomination of "Best Electronic Textbook" my colleague, candidate of historical sciences, associate professor Zhumakaeva Bakhyt Dauletkhanovna was awarded! Our students are delighted with her extraordinary lessons! "
Just to remind, the purpose of "The best teacher of AlmaU" contest is to identify and support employees who cultivate teaching a high modern format, using innovative technologies and methodological tools in their professional activities.
