The article is devoted to the peculiarities of modernization of the system of professional pedagogical education in the aspect of using information tools for effective support of teachers’ activities. The considered directions of modernization of the system of lifelong pedagogical education are presented at the normative and conceptual level. Personalized and integrative approaches to the system of lifelong pedagogical education are important approaches to the implementation of the basic tasks of improving teacher training. The essence of a personalized approach to modern teacher training is not only in the formation of an individual and personal component of the future professional, but also in teaching universal strategies for professional and pedagogical activities in an information and educational environment. The integrative approach presupposes consistency and synchronicity of theory and practice, the traditional and innovative component of the teacher training system. A feature of the methodological component of the teacher training system is the information tools for supporting individual pedagogical activities, which, as integrated resources, have a certain educational potential, since they are aimed at achieving an effect when using relevant information by the subjects of the educational process. The variety of information tools allows us to distinguish their classification groups, including: information technology, information and communication and professional development. Informational tools used in the educational process can also be procedural, multifunctional and private. Methodological, informational-methodical and personal-professional strategies for supporting the professional development of a teacher are used as conditions for supporting individual pedagogical activities. The prospect of the research is the development of methodological and technological mechanisms for the implementation of conditions for optimal support of teachers who are willing to be professionally mobile and competent, capable of successfully solving professional problems in the information and educational environment.

The Russian system of professional training of teachers at the present stage has ceased to fully satisfy the needs of the state and society related to changes in the format and forms of interaction between students and teachers, global digitalization and openness of the educational space. The system of teacher training in the Russian Federation is multi-stage and is built on the basis of taking into account traditional approaches and principles to this process. However, at the present stage, there is a digital transformation of society and the tendency to comply with regional characteristics and personnel needs is strengthening, which implies the creation of an updated regional system of continuous pedagogical education in the digital educational environment. The article presents a look at solving the problem of determining the methodological foundations of the formation and development of such a system based on the definition of innovative methodological approaches and principles for designing the content of education of teachers in institutions of higher and additional professional education. Methodological aspects of network interaction and mutual influence of subjects of the regional system of continuous pedagogical education are revealed and substantiated, taking into account the specifics of the use of digital technologies and resources and the peculiarities of regional development.
