Training at the PDI should have the innovative, advancing character defining the content of preparation of the audience so that there would change the relation and positions of teachers and heads to professional work and school mission. Educational process at the PDI should be directed on creation of conditions when a subject position would be developed and reflective and creative abilities would be formed among the audience. a special part of the problem is preparation of the teachers-heads who are frequently not ready to operate in conformity with new professional requirements, as sociological and psychodiagnostic researches show. Many managers of the education system have value-sense barriers which impede modernization in real pedagogical practice.
