Introduction
The need for teacher individuality is especially acute in modern society, because the extent to which a teacher can prove himself and realize himself in the profession depends on his psychological well-being and work productivity. Therefore, in educational institutions it is necessary to create favorable psychological conditions in which he could realize his personality. A favorable psychological climate depends primarily on the level of cohesion of the teaching staff.
Team cohesion is a concept that reveals the characteristics of interpersonal relationships in a team, the unity of value orientations, the unity of goals and motives for activity within the framework of joint activities. Friendly contacts during work and after it, cooperation and mutual assistance form a good socio-psychological climate.
The factor influencing the socio-psychological climate of the team is determined by individual and psychological characteristics each of its members. Through the prism personal characteristics of a person, all influences on him, both production and non-production, are refracted. Therefore, for the formation of a particular socio-psychological climate of the team, it is not so much important psychological qualities members, how much is the effect of their combination.

PROGRESS OF THE CLASS
Acquaintance
Fantasy game “The Magic of Our Name” (10 minutes)
Target: Acquaintance of training participants with each other, ability to present themselves.
Material: sun toy
Participants are divided into pairs. Partners introduce themselves by name and discuss:
- Where did I get my name from? Are there any namesakes of mine among famous people? Do I know any literary or film characters with the same name? How does my name affect my behavior in life? Do I like my name? (If not, what kind of name would I like to have?) Do I know what my name means?
Stages of work:
I. Stage – warming up
Exercise “Throw the ball over” (5 minutes)
Goals: verbal and non-verbal communication, brings group members closer together. It is aimed at liberating group members, establishing contacts with each other and finding a quick solution to the task.

Time: 2-5 minutes
Procedure: Participants stand in a close circle, they are given a small ball (about the size of a tennis ball) and the task is formulated: to throw this ball to each other as quickly as possible so that it is in everyone’s hands. The presenter records the time required for this. The optimal number of participants in a circle is from 6 to 8; with a larger number, it is advisable to perform the exercise in several subgroups. The exercise is repeated 3-4 times, the leader asks to do it as quickly as possible. When the time spent has been brought to approximately 1 s for each participant, the facilitator asks to invent and demonstrate a way in which the ball can be thrown so that it is in everyone’s hands, spending only 1 s for the whole group. Usually after some time the participants come up with and demonstrate an appropriate solution. (It consists in the fact that they all place their hands folded in a “boat” on top of each other and alternately spread their palms to the sides. The ball, falling down, is passed from hand to hand and thus manages to visit each participant). Problem solved!
Psychological meaning of the exercise. Demonstration of how a problem can be solved more effectively with the help of a non-trivial approach to it and how stereotypes prevent this (“to throw means to throw up and then catch”). Group cohesion, learning to coordinate joint actions.
Issues for discussion:
What prevented you from immediately seeing quick way completing the task, what stereotype was activated? Who first came up with the idea of throwing the ball, not throwing it, but dropping it, and what prompted this idea? What situations, when a stereotypical vision prevented one from seeing a simple and non-trivial way to solve a problem, were encountered in the life experience of the participants and how were these limitations managed to be overcome?Game "Molecules" (5 minutes)
Target: relieving tension, creating a friendly atmosphere.

The purpose of the given visualization meditation is to help a person enter a dissociated state in order to see and realize their problems as if from the outside. This allows you to significantly mitigate negative experiences and find new, unexpected ways to resolve problems. Thanks to this, the “Mountain Peak” psychotechnics help increase self-confidence.
Imagine yourself standing at the foot of huge mountain. You are surrounded by stone giants on all sides. Maybe it's the Pamirs, Tibet or the Himalayas. Somewhere in the heights, lost in the clouds, the icy peaks of the mountains float. How wonderful it must be up there! You wish you were there. And you don't have to reach the top by climbing difficult and dangerous steep slopes, because you... can fly. Look up: a dark moving cross is clearly visible against the sky. This is an eagle soaring over the rocks... A moment - and you yourself become this eagle. Having spread your mighty wings, you easily catch the elastic currents of air and glide freely in them... You see torn, ragged clouds floating below you... Far below - toy groves, tiny houses in the valleys, miniature men... Your vigilant the eye is able to discern the smallest details of the picture unfolding in front of you. Take a closer look at it. Take a closer look...
You hear the soft whistle of the wind and the sharp cries of small birds flying past. You feel the coolness and gentle elasticity of the air that holds you high. What a wonderful feeling of free flight, independence and strength! Enjoy it...
It is not difficult for you to reach any peak that is highest and inaccessible to others. Choose a convenient area for yourself and go down to it, so that from there, from an unattainable height, you can look at what remains there, far away, at the foot of the mountains... How small and insignificant the problems that trouble you seem from here! Evaluate whether they are worth the effort and stress you have experienced! The calmness bestowed by heights and levels gives you impartiality and the ability to delve into the essence of things, to understand and notice what was inaccessible there, in the bustle. From here, from above, it is easy for you to see ways to solve the issues that have been tormenting you... The necessary steps and the right actions are realized with amazing clarity... Pause.
Take off again and experience the amazing feeling of flying again. Let it be remembered by you for a long time... And now again be transported to yourself, standing at the foot of the mountain... Wave your hand goodbye to the eagle soaring in the sky, which made a new perception of the world available to you... Thank him...
You are here again in this room. You have returned here after your amazing journey...

Phoenix.1996 Practical seminars and trainings for teachers. Issue 1 Volgograd 2008Lesson 2. “Unity teaching staff and development of the creative potential of teachers"
Teaching staff today are torn apart by contradictions. Conflicts are a fairly common occurrence in teaching staff. Sometimes all members of the school community are involved in them: teachers, parents, students. Often, hard-won connections are easily destroyed.
At the present time, when it is collective conditions that determine the success of science and technology, there is an urgent need for people who master the art of creating a moral climate in a team. However, in a teaching team, each member can and should influence the favorable socio-psychological climate. And the collective becomes a powerful means of personality formation only when it is characterized by a high psychological climate.
To successfully overcome the destructive consequences of conflicts, you need to learn how to work around them. And this is only possible if high level team development and a favorable socio-psychological climate.
common goal: to achieve good interpersonal relationships (specifics of formal and informal organizational connections in the team and the relationship between them), a democratic level in the team, an optimal level of psychological compatibility of the team, revealing the internal creative potential of the teacher.

Collaging, like any visual technique, makes it possible to reveal a person’s potential, assumes a greater degree of freedom, is a painless method of working with an individual, and is based on positive emotional experiences associated with the creative process. In addition, when making a collage, there is no tension associated with the lack of artistic ability of the participants; this technique allows everyone to achieve a successful result. Collaging allows you to define what exists on this moment the psychological state of a person, to identify the current content of his self-awareness, his personal experiences. Its integration with other art technologies can significantly expand the capabilities of the collage technique. An example would be the inclusion in a collage of drawings, personal photographs of participants, the authors of which they are, or in which they are depicted, as well as the use of collage in performance and installation.
Based on this technique, we have developed the “Collaging on free topic", the purpose of which is to introduce psychology students to strategies social interaction and improving their communicative competence. In the course of work, they get the opportunity to realize the features of their individual style of interaction with people around them, which is significant for the effective implementation of their future professional activities. The peculiarity of this technique is that the creation of collages occurs in a group form, which allows participants to be included in joint activities and trace the features of their social interaction.
Purpose of the exercise: develop the group's ability to come to general opinion, compromise, be able to negotiate.
Materials: whatman paper, simple pencils, glossy magazines, glue, music appropriate to the work and the imagination of the participants.

When Sliver swims all the way, it becomes the edge of the shore and stands next to the others. At this time, the next Sliver begins its journey...
Relaxation. Sage from the Temple
Psychotherapists often use meditation techniques archetypal images an ancient old man-sage, a temple, a candle flame and the like (see, for example, J. Rainwater, (1992), since they allow a person to access the resources of his own subconscious. In the psychotechnics described below, all of the listed archetypes are used.
Imagine yourself standing in a clearing in summer forest. Thick grass rises to your knees and flower petals touch your feet. There are trees around, their leaves rustling in a warm breeze. Sun rays create a bizarre mosaic of light and shadow. You can hear the whistling of birds, the chirping of grasshoppers, the crackling of branches. You enjoy the aroma of herbs and flowers. Curly lambs in the blue summer sky foretell excellent weather.
You cross the clearing and go deeper into the forest. There is a narrow path under your feet. She is barely noticeable in the grass. Apparently, it is not often walked on. You are slowly walking through the forest and suddenly see through the treetops the roof of a building of unusual architecture. You are heading towards this building. The trees recede and you find yourself in front of an amazing structure. This is a temple. He stands far from the bustle of cities and street crowds, from the pursuit of illusory happiness. This temple is a place of peace and tranquility, a place for reflection and deepening into oneself. Several wide steps lead up to a heavy oak door. The sun's rays play on the gilded patterns decorating the door. You go up the steps and, holding on to golden pen, open the door. It gives in unexpectedly easily and silently. Inside the temple there is semi-darkness and pleasant coolness. All sounds remain outside. There are ancient paintings on the walls. There are shelves everywhere, on which there are many books, strange tomes, scrolls. Opposite the door through which you entered is a large oak table, behind which sits an old man in snow-white clothes. His kind and wise eyes are fixed on you. A candle is burning in a candlestick right in front of him.
Come closer to the old man. This is a sage who knows all the innermost secrets of the world, events of the past and future. You can ask him about what worries you, and perhaps you will get the answer you have been looking for for so long... The sage points you to the candle. Look into this living flame, into its magical core. Look at him... Inside the flame, first a blurry, and now increasingly clear image appears... Turn your gaze to the sage. He is holding a calendar in his hands. The date is clearly highlighted on the calendar sheet, remember it...
Temple visiting hours are ending. Thank the sage for meeting you... You leave the temple and close the door behind you. It's still a sunny day here outside. You go down the steps and again emerge onto the forest path, along which you return to the clearing where your journey began. You stop at last time you look around at the landscape... and are transported again here, to this room...

Teachers of all categories
Presenter (educator-psychologist)
Form: workshop
Scenario plan
Good afternoon, dear colleagues! I chose the poem “Free Conversation” as the epigraph for today’s meeting:
- Shall we talk?
- About what?
- About various things and other things.
About what is good
And not very good.
You know something.
But I know something.
Shall we talk?
- Let's talk.
Suddenly it will be interesting.
Interpersonal relationships at work have a multifaceted impact on a person’s emotional state. The well-being of the emotional and psychological climate in the team determines whether a person will feel comfortable in the workplace and how productive and high-quality his work will be. Therefore, we will conduct our workshop with the goal of even greater unity, emotional emancipation, and diversity of our working days and receiving positive emotions.
Greetings:
As you know, any meeting begins with a greeting, I suggest you greet your colleagues in an unusual way:
“We greet with elbows”
Target: Establishing contact between participants, destroying the usual stereotypes of greeting, developing creativity.
Content: all participants count on 1, 2, 3. Participants from No. 1 fold their hands behind their heads so that their elbows are directed in different directions; No. 2 – rest their hands on their thighs so that their elbows are also directed to the sides; No. 3 – keep your arms folded crosswise on your chest, with your elbows turned to the sides.
After participants accept initial position, they are invited to give a signal (the ringing of a bell) to say hello as soon as possible big amount those present, saying: “Hello, how are you” and touching each other’s elbows.
It's great that you and I greeted each other. Now we would like to know why you came to this training and what you expect from it.
2. Game “Why are we gathered here today.”
Teachers are invited to take out pieces of paper from the basket, on which are written humorous answers to the question “Why did I come to the training.” And read them out.
3. Game "Magic glasses".
Participants stand in two circles facing each other. Host: “I have magic glasses through which you can see only the good that is in a person, even what a person sometimes hides from everyone. Let each of you try on these glasses, look at your colleagues and try to see as much good as possible in everyone, maybe even something you hadn’t noticed before.
4. Game "Airplane"
Teachers are divided into pairs.Pairs of participants take each other's hands and make a paper airplane with their free hands. At the end of the game, questions are asked: “Was it easy to complete the task? Have you tried to agree with each other, distribute who will do what and complete the task together?
5. Game "Confused"
The participants of the game stand in a circle, holding hands, then begin to get confused. When everyone gets completely confused, it turns out to be one big “beast”. After the “beast” has formed, the leader must ask the questions “Where is the beast’s head?”, “Where is the beast’s tail?”, “Where is the beast’s right?”, “Where is the beast’s left?” When all questions have been answered, the animal should begin to move. He must walk 5 steps forward, 5 steps back, the same number to the right and left. Then he must run a few meters (depending on the size of the room where the game is being played). This game will help improve the mutual understanding of its participants.
I invite you to take part in the Association game. This game will help you look at yourself from the outside and find out what character traits you have. You may not even know that you have these traits!
6. Game "Associations"
A driver is selected and leaves the hall for a while. The remaining participants “make a wish” for one of the people present here. The driver is invited and asks questions like:
If it were a tree (house, flower, weather, curtains, book, dog), which one?
Participants think, trying to imagine this person, and answer, for example: It would be a birch tree growing in an open field. The driver tries to understand which of them fits this definition.
7. Game “Heart of the Collective”
An outline is drawn on whatman paper big heart. Teachers are told that this is the heart of the team. But it is still empty, not filled, one might say lifeless. The sound of heartbeats has not yet been heard. Let's fill this heart (positive wishes for your colleagues are written on small hearts, then they are glued to the outline of the big heart). Then they read it out loud. Now the heart of the collective is filled and can beat in unison with yours. Listen (snap your fingers once, then hit your chest with your palm once, another snap of your fingers and two claps of your palm on your chest, etc.)
Final part.

After analyzing the answers, I came to the conclusion that team cohesion is at an insufficient level, teachers rarely turn to each other for help, team tense situation. This is explained by team new and therefore the emotional connections of its participants are not established at the proper level. Therefore, I decided to conduct training, aimed at consolidation of the teaching staff, development of communication skills, emotional stability, self-confidence, friendly attitude towards each other, . Doing the exercises training, teachers learn to understand each other. The training motivates teachers to self-improvement, reflection, mastery of the mechanisms of communicative competence.

Relieve emotional and muscle tension;
Develop emotional stability and self-confidence;
Promote consolidation of the team of teachers;

Increase self-esteem teachers;
Increase your mood for luck, happiness, kindness and success.

Progress of the training:
Educational psychologist:
Dear Colleagues! Today we will talk to you about the psychological climate team, as well as the importance team cohesion.
Psychological climate is interpersonal relationships, typical for labor team, which determine his basic mood.
A plant may flourish in one climate, but wither in another. The same can be said about psychological climate: in some conditions people feel uncomfortable and tend to leave team, spend less time in it, their personal growth slows down, in others - team functions optimally and its members are able to realize their full potential.
Construction of a psychological climate, team cohesion- this is the most important matter not only for the administration, but also for each member team.
The climate is called favorable if team There is an atmosphere of goodwill, care for everyone, trust and exactingness. If members team ready to work, show creativity and achieve High Quality, working without supervision and taking responsibility for the business. If in everyone in the team is protected, feels involved in everything that is happening and actively engages in communication.
A game "Molecules"
Target: relieving tension, creating a friendly atmosphere.
Group members – "atoms"– move freely around the room to the music. At the leader's signal (cotton) Atoms are combined into molecules in groups of 2, then 3, etc. at the end of the exercise the whole group is united.
Exercise "Islands"
Target: all participants will be posted on the newspaper (all, half of the newspaper, third).
Participants are divided into groups of 4-6 people and complete tasks at speed.
Creating conditions for the implementation and promotion of ideas about ways to act in a non-standard situation, group cohesion, physical warm-up. Participants exchange emotions and feelings and voice all their ideas.
Psychotechnical exercise "Pressure".
Target: awareness of different models in communication and interaction with a partner, installation of equal communication. (10 min)
Instructions: Stand opposite each other, raise your arms at chest level and lightly touch your palms to each other. Agree who will be the leader. The leader's task is to apply light pressure to the palms of his partner. Then, switch roles and repeat the pressure movement on the palm of your playing partner.
Perhaps you did not experience pleasant moments either in the first or in the second case (it was unpleasant for you to put pressure on your partner, and it was very unpleasant when they put pressure on you).
Then, try not to put pressure on each other, perform joint movements with the palms of your hands facing each other so that a mutual feeling of warmth arises between you (psychoenergetic contact).
Have you felt how much more pleasant it is to interact as equals rather than to achieve superiority? Do not forget that in seeking psychological pressure on a communication partner (there will be a parent, colleague, child, we risk causing in him a reaction not of submission, but of indignation. And instead of helping, he will simply refuse contact with us.
Exercise " Collaging on the theme -"Our team»
Collaging, like any visual technique, makes it possible to reveal a person’s potential, assumes a greater degree of freedom, is a painless method of working with an individual, and is based on positive emotional experiences associated with the creative process. In addition, during the manufacture collage There is no tension associated with the lack of artistic ability of the participants; this technique allows everyone to achieve a successful result.
The peculiarity of this technique is that the creation collages occurs in a group form, which allows participants to be included in joint activities and to trace the features of their social interaction.
Purpose of the exercise: develop the group’s ability to come to a common opinion, compromise, and be able to negotiate.

2. Did any disagreements arise during the work?
Psychologist:
Take your seats. (turns on relaxing music)
Relaxation "The Sage of the Temple"
Imagine yourself standing in a clearing in a summer forest. Thick grass rises to your knees and flower petals touch your feet. There are trees around, their leaves rustling in a warm breeze. The sun's rays create a bizarre mosaic of light and shadow. You can hear the whistling of birds, the chirping of grasshoppers, the crackling of branches. You enjoy the aroma of herbs and flowers. Curly lambs in the blue summer sky foretell excellent weather. You cross the clearing and go deeper into the forest. There is a narrow path under your feet. She is barely noticeable in the grass. Apparently, it is not often walked on. You are slowly walking through the forest and suddenly see through the treetops the roof of a building of unusual architecture. You are heading towards this building. The trees recede and you find yourself in front of an amazing structure. This is a temple. He stands far from the bustle of cities and street crowds, from the pursuit of illusory happiness. This temple is a place of peace and tranquility, a place for reflection and deepening into oneself. Several wide steps lead up to a heavy oak door. The sun's rays play on the gilded patterns decorating the door. You go up the steps and, holding the golden handle, open the door. It gives in unexpectedly easily and silently. Inside the temple there is semi-darkness and pleasant coolness. All sounds remain outside. There are ancient paintings on the walls. There are shelves everywhere, on which there are many books, strange tomes, scrolls. Opposite the door through which you entered is a large oak table, behind which sits an old man in snow-white clothes. His kind and wise eyes are fixed on you. A candle is burning in a candlestick right in front of him. Come closer to the old man. This is a sage who knows all the innermost secrets of the world, events of the past and future. You can ask him about what worries you, and perhaps you will get the answer you have been looking for. The sage points you to the candle. Look into this living flame, into its magical core. Look at him. Inside the flame, a blurry, but now increasingly clear, image appears. Turn your gaze to the sage. He is holding a calendar in his hands. The date is clearly highlighted on the calendar sheet, remember it. Temple visiting hours are ending. Thank the sage for meeting you. You leave the temple and close the door behind you. It's still a sunny day here outside. You go down the steps and again emerge onto the forest path, along which you return to the clearing where your journey began. You stop and take one last look at the landscape around you. and again you are transported here, to this room.
Reflection training:
