EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT MODEL OF A TEACHING AND METHODOLOGICAL CENTER IN SUPPORTING TEACHERS’ PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: STRATEGIES FOR IMPLEMENTING INNOVATIVE PROJECTS IN THE CONTEXT OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

Abstract

In the context of rapid digital transformation, educational systems face growing demands for flexibility, innovation, and continuous professional development of teachers. Teaching and methodological centers play a critical role in coordinating these processes; however, traditional management approaches often fail to respond effectively to the challenges of digitalization. This article proposes an effective management model for a teaching and methodological center aimed at supporting teachers’ professional development through the implementation of innovative projects.

The study is based on a mixed-methods approach combining managerial analysis, practical experience in educational institutions, and comparative insights aligned with international practices. The proposed model integrates strategic management, digital tools, project-based learning, and data-driven decision-making. The findings demonstrate that a structured, innovation-oriented management model enhances teachers’ professional competencies, increases institutional adaptability, and fosters sustainable educational development. The results may be of interest to educational administrators, policymakers, and international partners seeking scalable solutions in digitally transforming education systems.
