The development of the regional pedagogical community is one of the education strategy directions in the Russian Federation. Therefore, on the one hand, the forecasted number of students and teaching staff in the forecast until 2030 as compared to 2018 indicates an increase in the number of students and teachers by an average of 20% in both Russia and the Kirov region. On the other hand, the specificity of the pedagogical community as compared with any other labor collective definitely exists, since the pedagogical team develops in unity with the student body. In this perspective, the characteristics of age heterogeneity is of particular relevance. In this regard, the key point in managing the development of the regional pedagogical community is the use of the existing age structure analysis for each school subject teachers. Neglecting the analysis of teachers’ age characteristics may lead to ineffective implementation of the regional education system development program. First, the risk of subject teachers’ shortage in the nearest future increases. Therefore, the analysis of teachers’ age structure in the regional education system remains highly relevant. Accordingly, the purpose of the article is to analyze and forecast the development of the age structure heterogeneity among pedagogical community of the Kirov region. Based on the data analysis of the expert-analytical assessment of the educational institutions’ personnel potential in the Kirov region, the authors of the article justify the need for management decisions in personnel policy of the Kirov region education. The leading approaches here are the methodology of the normal and natural distribution of age groups in the structure of the regional pedagogical community. As a result of the study, the authors of the article note: the average age of teachers in the Kirov region is 5 years higher than the average age of teachers in the Russian Federation; a significant shortage of teachers aged 30 to 45 years; unacceptable teachers’ age structure is observed among teachers of physics, mathematics, biology and chemistry; the average rate of a school teacher in one subject is 0.70; teachers of mathematics, Russian language and literature, foreign languages, physical training instructors and primary school teachers have the greatest academic load. The theoretical significance of the article is due to the contribution to the development of scientific ideas about the age heterogeneity of the teaching staff in educational institutions. Practical use of the research results allows us to build trajectories of the Kirov region pedagogical community development on the basis of implementing a complex of management and organizational measures to achieve the normal state of the pedagogical community age structure in the region.
