In order to organize the "Professional Development Hour" and "Professional Development Day" events, a team of mentor-teachers will be formed among highly qualified teachers in each district (city).

As part of the "Professional Development Hour", teachers' lessons are analyzed by science method associations and mentor-teachers, they are provided with methodical support, and recommendations are given on professional development.
