Abstrakt
An important part of the professional and personal development of a modern teacher in the 21st century must be the building of his/her own social capital - so-called life skills, with an emphasis on the use of mindfulness techniques and the promotion of self-efficacy.
In the context of new social trends and an increase in challenging life events, taking into account the long-term pandemic situation and changes in the labor market, it is necessary to modify the objectives and contents of pre-graduate teacher training and subsequent lifelong learning courses in favor of promoting basic life skills. These must occupy a key position in the structure of the professional and personal competencies of today's teachers, because only then can such teachers lead the educational process at all levels of education adequately and effectively.
The work focuses on the integration of basic life skills into the complex system of competencies of teaching staff (with an overlap to other professions) and presents selected techniques that can be used in teachers' education.
