The domestic and foreign experience of professional development and socio-pedagogical prerequisites for the development of significant realizations of the teacherʼs professional activity during professional development are analyzed. The system of professional development is substantiated as a qualitatively new one that has undergone fundamental changes in its structure and target orientations, as well as the meaningful orientation of training programs. The transformations into targeted and meaningful guidelines for professional development, technologies for organizing the educational process are described. Professional values are unstable, they can undergo changes depending on public opinion, state policy in the field of education and other reasons. Professional pedagogical values are one of the elements of the structure of a teacherʼs professional self-awareness; they are recognized as a person and are accepted as significant formations; affect the most important characteristics of the teacherʼs personality. Revealing the need for the development of professionally significant values of a teacher, which have a positive impact on the formation of pedagogical competences in the process of professional development, we justify the need to characterize such structural components of professionally significant values as: value-targeted; motivational and meaningful; reflexive and corrective. The following are marked as the leading strategic directions of the transformation of the system of professional development in our country: changing the organizational structure of the educational space; creation of a financial support mechanism based on personalized budget financing; determination of coordination of teachersʼ professional development with their attestation; implementation of consistent diagnostic procedures for researching the effectiveness of the professional development process; improving the quality of educational programs, methodical and technological support of professional development.Keywords: pedagogical values; institutions of professional (vocational) education; professional education; educational process; certification training; teacherʼs self-development; pedagogical potential; postgraduate education.
