The changes that have taken place in education require modern teachers to actively develop
professional competencies. The concept of the New Ukrainian School emphasizes that graduates of
education institutions must be individuals, patriots and innovators. The article considers the pedagogical

School, such as creating conditions for the director and his/her deputy to develop professional competence of
teachers: creating conditions for the development of professional competence of teachers; managing the

communication and cooperation with others; introducing interactive forms of education that provide the
teacher with the experience of cognition and critical thinking of practice and learning, education of students
