The project intends to develop and modernize formal and informal education curriculum in professional development and training of teachers in Mongolia, Kazakhstan, and Russia with the aim of empowering target groups with the deficient competences in the field of leadership. The project’s outcomes include a multidisciplinary module program for 2nd cycle of formal education which combines pedagogical, sociological, psychological, law, economics, and management elements and professional development program “Teachers as Leaders”. Both programs will make the process of training and professional development of teachers for leadership more effective, aimed at maximizing the interaction of educators in a community, at making their behavior in a professional environment innovative.
