Summary
Many European countries including Lithuania have been or will be soon facing a crisis in education, where the aging of teachers, their burnout syndrome of high level, and insufficient numbers of teacher recruits have been observed (TALIS, 2018). This is due to the specifics of teacher’s profession which involves a high level of psychoemotional competences, which are needed in the communication with education community members. Teachers do not tend to come to school, because this workplace is not attractive, and this work contains emotional strain and stress (TALIS, 2018; Merkys & Balčiūnas, 2019). In the opinion of the authors of this study, teachers’ abilities of anger control, problem-solving and self-reflection are important in enhancing the quality of their work and can be improved by attending various professional development programmes
