In the distance learning system (DLS), as in any other pedagogical system consisting of components such as the purpose, content, means, forms and methods of teaching, students and instructors [1], the teacher acts as a key component that guarantees the effectiveness of the learning process. The relevance of the work is explained by the incredible surge in the use of distance learning, both in international and in Russian educational practice due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic on the one hand and the lack of readiness of university teachers to use distance learning on the other. Thus, the training /advanced training of university teachers who are capable and ready (professionally, technically, psychologically) to implement activities in the DLS becomes one of the priorities of modern education. The purpose of this article is to develop a model of personal and professional competency of a distance learning teacher as a strategic perspective for his/her training and to analyze the components of his/her activities. The leading approaches in this work are polysubject (based on a rich and complex human being nature), professional (preparation for a profession through its detailed examination), culturological and innovative (the ability to react quickly to changes dictated by newly formed circumstances and external conditions). The main results of the work are to substantiate the specific features of the professional activity of a distance learning teacher; to develop a model of the integral personal and professional competency of a distance learning teacher; to analyze the components of his/her activity. The theoretical significance of the article lies in the expansion of knowledge concerning the qualification characteristics of distance learning teachers. The practical significance of the work consists in the application of the results obtained in the preparation / advanced training of university teachers to work in distance learning. The acquired knowledge can be applied in the training of teachers not only in higher, but also in secondary educational institutions of various profiles.
