Summary

Introduction

The national educational system reform, which is currently taking place in Ukraine, actualises the training problems of the staff who are able to work in accordance with the new methodological guidelines, which are outlined by the New Ukrainian School concept. The main idea of the concept is to lay out the formation of the professional competence of future psycho-pedagogical specialists for IE in the teacher training institutions of higher education. The solution of the outlined problem is possible on condition that there is an introduction of the curriculum for training of diversified psycho-pedagogical staff for the needs of inclusive education in the educational process. The curriculum should provide an integration of inclusively oriented educational content, aimed at the creation of a higher level of professional competence formation through methodological coordination of the pedagogical conditions of theoretical and practical training. The unity and integrity of all the system components of the staff training in the psycho-pedagogical field to work in the conditions of IEE (conceptual, target, substantial and procedural) allow to predict, define and adjust personal professionally oriented trajectory of the vocational training of every graduate during the whole period of studies
