The relevance of the study is determined by the growing sociocultural identity crisis in schoolchildren, the recorded increase in delinquent behaviour, the weakening of patriotic attitudes and the declining upbringing potential of the family, which makes it urgent to search for new structured forms of interaction between educational organisations and the parent community. The aim of the study is to identify the specific features of managing the interaction of the advisor to the director for education and interaction with children’s public associations with the parent community in a general education organisation and to present an organisational model of this interaction within the framework of the federal project “Navigators of Childhood”. Research objectives: 1) to analyse contemporary factors that transform the sociocultural identity of schoolchildren and hinder the implementation of the family’s upbringing function; 2) to reveal the content and areas of activity of the advisor to the director for education and interaction with children’s public associations as regulated by the legal and regulatory framework and the federal project “Navigators of Childhood”; 3) to characterise the model of managing interaction with the parent community implemented through the Directorate for Work with the Parent Community of the Federal State Budgetary Institution “Russian Children and Youth Centre” (Rosdetcenter); 4) to evaluate the results and effects achieved through the structured involvement of parents in educational activities. Research methods: theoretical analysis of philosophical and psychological-pedagogical literature on problems of identity and family upbringing; examination of normative legal documents regulating the work of the advisor to the director for education and interaction with children’s public associations; analysis of statistical data on parent chats and juvenile delinquency; a structural-functional approach to describing the tasks and work areas of the advisor to the director for education and interaction with children’s public associations. The object of the study is the process of interaction between the advisor to the director for education and interaction with children’s public associations and the parent community in a general education organisation. The subject of the study is the managerial mechanisms and structural components that ensure the interaction of the advisor to the director for education and interaction with children’s public associations with the parent community. In the course of the study, the core difficulties of family upbringing and the barriers that previously limited parents’ involvement in school life were systematised; the content of two main areas of the advisor’s work was revealed; the contemporary model of interaction management is described in detail, including the establishment of a network of parent chats (growth from 1.65 million to over 4 million), the creation of family upbringing spaces, the holding of forums and festivals (“Parents Online”, “Wings of Childhood”), and the integration of parents into grant programmes. Positive outcomes of the model’s implementation have been registered. The significance of the study lies in the fact that the described mechanisms can be applied to build long-term interaction according to the “teacher – student – parent” model and to strengthen the educational component in educational organisations.
