Existential potential of professional development of a teacher in the space of an innovative educational complex

The paper presents a component model of the existential potential of a teacher's professional development, implemented in the Educational complex "Point of the Future" (Irkutsk), which is a vivid example of an innovative educational environment that supports the existential nature of teachers' professional development, where self-development acts as a value guideline for both teachers and students. The features of pedagogical work in an innovative educational organization are revealed: "versatility of activity", "high uncertainty of conditions" and "redundancy of professional opportunities". Examples of activities contributing to the disclosure of the existential potential of professional development of teachers in the private educational institution "Point of theFuture" are given. The tasks of scientific and methodological support are defined as one of the key conditions for actualizing the existential potential of a teacher. The article will be useful for education professionals and heads of educational institutions.
