INNOVATIONS AND STAMPS
Abstract
The beginning of new academic year – good time for judgment of the tendencies and phenomena occurring in an education system. On September 1 in the Republic of Belarus traditionally pupils bring home new textbooks. In 2017 once again programs of subjects have changed. As a message the criticism of the content of subjects of the country leaders and the public for their „scientism“ and isolation from practice has discussed. In addition, the innovative activities of the Association for Intellectual Property Protection "BelBrand" is discussed.
The content of subjects is still far from the current state of science, the equipment, technology. And not only at school. On the other hand, it is necessary to learn researchers and developers of new knowledge to state the ideas so that even the most difficult phenomena and concepts became intuitively clear. This idea isn't innovative. But it hasn't been realized yet.

THE USE OF SPEED READING TECHNIQUE PROMOTING STUDENTS’ LEADERSHIP IN PRIMARY CLASSES
Abstract
This research deals with the influence of speed reading to primary school pupils' leadership. This topic is relevant for schools constantly ongoing changes that are associated with modern society, therefore teaching Lithuanian language is a very difficult job that requires patience and good didactic knowledge. Child’s education in today’s busy, complex and constantly changing world is also controversial, because qualities such as initiative, ability to work with others, openness, communication skills, flexibility and adaptability become especially important. In this case, leadership is the basic skill that you need to develop instead of suppressing at the early age. The present era requires necessary provisions. This particular period requires modernization of training institutions as well as the shift to a more integrated work and effort to provide a more personalized teaching and learning strategies. One of these indicators is speed reading techniques and instruments. The term “speed reading” is not very frequent, but this is the main learning strategy. Reading should be understood as an ongoing and constantly developing ability. Speed Reading improves cognitive powers, sharpens critical thinking skills and enhances problem-solving skills. The paper reveals a close primary school students' leadership and speed reading interface.
Subject – the influence of speed reading seeking to encourage students‘ leadership.
Main research questions:
1. How speed reading methodologies can promote student’s leadership?
2. What kind of influence for educating the reading skills of the classroom kids has the general level of reading achievement?
Summarizing the analysis of the research data, it can be argued that the ability to read children with a leadership character is advanced because they are also cultivated in the family even before they go to school. All subjects have an early reading comprehension in the family. A behavioural change has been reported in a vibrant expression of leadership: high motivation, autonomy, operational planning, help each other. Speed reading techniques: hypertext, text linking colors Aurasma program is innovative, motivating children to operate independently and helps maintain a higher concentration of time, the less distracting. It is also noted that speed reading instruments, which are systematically adjusted according to the reader's age and reading target may be treated as curriculum differentiation, higher thinking skills training. It is also noted that the tools for rapid reading, which are systematically matched according to the reader's age and the purpose of reading, can help to differentiate the content of education, to develop students' advanced thinking abilities.
The methodology of speed reading helps to develop children's leadership, which is manifested in: cooperation, democracy, responsibility, planning of activities, and responsible learning. Foreign researchers' perceptions coincide with the study's conclusion that quick reading motivates students, helps them plan activities, and develop creativity in the search for information

EFFECTIVENESS OF PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP IN THE MANAGEMENT OF TECHNICAL AND VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING
Abstract
The aim of this research was to determine the effectiveness of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) in the management of TVET programme in the 21st century. The preferred method of inquiry was the survey research design. A total population of 44 lecturers from the Department of Vocational and Technical Education, University of Benin and Ambrose Alli University was used for the research. The instrument for data collection was a structured questionnaire, validated by two experts. The Cronbach alpha formula was used to determine the instrument reliability; which yielded the coefficient value of 0.87. 20 questionnaire items was administered to the respondents by the researchers. The mean, standard deviation and t-test statistical tools were used for the data analysis. The results of the research showed that PPP to a high extent can influence the optimization of financial resources, provision of qualified manpower, development of curricula and procurement of modern facilities. There was also no significant difference between the mean ratings of TVET lecturers in UNIBEN and AAU regarding the influence of PPP on the effective management of TVET programme in the 21st century. This indicates that TVET lecturers in both institutions have the same perception regarding the influence of PPP on the management of TVET programme. Based on these findings, 4 recommendations were made in the research.

THE PASSION TO TEACH: A DIALOGUE WITH BRIAN P. COPPOLA
Abstract
Dr. Brian P. Coppola is Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Chemistry at the University of Michigan. He was born in 1957, the same year that Sputnik launched, and was educated by many of the progressive school science movements of the 1960s. He excelled in the college preparatory program at Pinkerton Academy, in Derry, NH. He received his B.S. degree in Chemistry in 1978 from the University of New Hampshire, where he also pursued his interest in art, particularly drawing. In 1980, during graduate school at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, while volunteering as the first study group leader in organic chemistry for the Greater University Tutorial Service (GUTS), Coppola had a chance encounter with Harry Behrman. Behrman invented the GUTS program as a part of his PhD in Education, and he ended up sitting in the back of Coppola’s study group room, taking field notes for his thesis. Every week, Behrman and Coppola had a few hours of intense conversation about education as a field of scholarly endeavor, the integration of which into science formed the foundation of Coppola’s professional interests and future plans.

The poster presentations aroused the greatest interest among participants in the conference. All the poster presentations at the conference were united under the umbrella title The Sketches of Contemporary School. As many as sixteen poster presentations were exhibited and their thirty authors actively shared success stories of their institutions and disseminated such ideas as achievements in inclusive and non-formal education, a school for everyone, setting creativity free, self-directed learning and others.
The international scientific – practical conference “The Teacher of Today and Tomorrow: Between Reality and Expectations” rallied and untied parents as members of school communities, students as teachers to be, currently working teachers, heads of schools, researchers and education policy makers. All the participants acknowledged the aforementioned as the greatest strength and impetus for change.
