Updating methods of the content of additional professional education programs

The article presents a model for the formation of the content of educational program for additional professional education on the basis of studying the educational and professional needs of teachers. The regulatory and legislative documents in the sphere of education contain the requirements of students’ subjectivity in the changing conditions of professional activity and the social environment. These requirements involve the use of appropriate methods for the development of educational development programs. One of the tools that can achieve these goals can be expert maps containing lists of theoretical concepts (knowledge) and ways of professional activity (skills) that are part of the standard professional tasks of the teacher of preschool education. The relevance of the content of expert cards is achieved through evaluation and adjustment by the pedagogical community. The article describes the application at the stage of coursework in institutions of additional vocational education.
