PERSONAL BRANDING AS A TOOL FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF A TEACHER

Abstract

The article examines the essence and main aspects of the formation of personal branding in the context of the teacher's professional development. It was revealed that in the difficult conditions of the functioning of the educational environment, in which the concept of partner marketing and comprehensive focus on consumers is dominant today, the marketing subsystem occupies an important place as a component of the general management system of the organization. Marketing communications as an element of the market promotion strategy by ensuring presence and expanding awareness play a key role in shaping the competitive advantages of educational institutions. It was determined that the development of the organization's image indicators will serve to build trust in the educational institution and create a positive reputation. Accordingly, the key vector in forming a positive image is personal branding as a tool for the teacher's professional development. The key advantages of the development of a personal brand under the modern conditions of the educational sphere are analyzed. The algorithm of forming a personal brand is substantiated by identifying successive stages that will serve as step-by-step instructions for creating a brand. The practical aspects of using the main tools of personal brand development through the prism of the features of the teacher's image component are considered. Systematization of the basic rules and requirements for the creation of appropriate content in social networks, which will serve as a means of forming a teacher's personal brand in order to ensure the integration of the educational, educational and developmental educational process, has been carried out. The obtained results deepen the basic principles of developing a positive image of the educational institution in general, and the development of the theory of the formation of the teacher's own brand as an integrating element of the effective activity of the educational institution. Further research should be aimed at forming a practical toolkit for the development of a teacher's personal brand, which will provide not only the opportunity to create an individual competitive offer on the labor market, but also serve as a tool for the teacher's professional development.
