The research describes the main directions of the development of the system of additional professional pedagogical education. The author distinguishes global trends (the formation of continuous education systems and its development mainly in distance forms) and trends specific to the Russian educational space: the design and implementation of federal state information systems that integrate smaller-scale information systems and transform the functionality of existing educational systems. A challenge is given in relation to the Russian system of additional education, which has been formed recently: “Will it be possible to solve the problem of forming a system to support the self-regulation of professional self-education in the course of special training for teachers as educators?” The solution to this problem generates a bifurcation point for the development of the system of additional education. The research discusses such directions for solving this problem as the formation of a long-term plan for the professional development of each school teacher and the development of meta-regulatory methodological components to support students’ independent work.
