It is interpreted as a process of increasing the general and professional educational level of a person, developing appropriate abilities throughout life. The purpose of the chapter is to analyse the structural and functional characteristics of the system of Russia's continuous teacher education and its status and personality subsystems. The structure of the system of continuous teacher education is revealed, and the structural and functional characteristics of the status and personal aspects of this system are identified and described.
