STRENGTHS-BASED PROFESSIONAL AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT OF TEACHERS
STRENGTHS-BASED PROFESSIONAL AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT OF TEACHERS

Summary/Abstract: Studies on contemporary trends in adult education and in particular in the context of career development provide insights into opportunities for adult career development and the development of management competencies. The analysis of normative documents shows that there are no clear strategies and policies for the career development of people of all ages. This also applies to an extremely important group of society, that is, teachers and future teachers. The main research question is how to develop career management competence of teachers. The purpose of the study is to develop a model of teacher‘s career development training based on analysis of contemporary policies, theories, and practices for career development, adult education, and strength-based approach to education. The research methodology includes analysis of scientific publications, regulations, policies, educational programs, and educational practices, as well as modelling (designing a training model), observation, and descriptive analysis. Competence-based model of teacher‘s career development creates conditions for learners‘ personal orientation and motivation, provides group diagnostics and flexibility. The modern adult career development theories are integrated in the teacher‘s career development training. The aim of the new model of teacher‘s career development is to facilitate future actions for planning, organizing, and implementing teacher‘s career development training. Conclusions are made about contemporary perspectives on career development and the proposed modern strengths-based andragogical model.
