Keyword: «teacher self-development»

The article discusses the importance of continuous teacher development and its impact on shaping students' character and skills. The modern educational paradigm emphasizes not only the didactic function but also the support for students' individual growth, including their independence, critical thinking, and self-education. The personal development of teachers (professional skills, emotional resilience, sociability, and learning motivation) creates an effective learning environment and stimulates the development of students' abilities. Teachers who engage in self-education and analyze their activities better structure the educational process and serve as role models for students. It is noted that improving a teacher's personal qualities directly enhances the quality of education and contributes to the development of a harmonious personality in students.
