This article explores the pressing issue of shaping a competitive pedagogical personality in the context of the 21st-century global education system. The author argues for the necessity of integrating pedagogical and psychological competencies to develop highly qualified and adaptive professionals. The modern educator is portrayed not merely as a transmitter of knowledge but as a motivational leader with emotional resilience and the ability to thrive in diverse educational environments. The paper analyzes innovative approaches, international practices, and proposes a conceptual integrative model for teacher development.
