For all of us, teachers , this is a very demanding time. We have to look at all things around us carefully and attentively. We have to analyze where we are and what is happening – in a society, within it, around it, in common activity for the sake of common aims- goals achieving and inside personal individuality, responsible for oneself and influence the whole society. We have to analyze where we are going as teachers, the main communicants, tutors, educators, trainers, schoolers, moderators, parents- as we move forward to a new society. What for? To anticipate it. It is a great demand of modernity- responsibility for those taught in a new world. The very life is probing teachers’ professional potential and personal performance. The very fact, this is further proof, that the teachers are convinced leaders. The teachers’ confidence comes from knowing that what they are doing is right and necessary, for individuals as well for society, overloaded with different problems, expecting the solving or transportation into the category of future findings… The witty solutions of teachers while educating those learned at school, college, University work out the strong foundation for bearing the burden of any kind society’ problems. The teachers’ mission is to compare our own educational reform (process, sphere, territory, space, approach, etc.) to the universal educational matrix of the world. First of all we take into account the development tasks of our own educational reform, accomplishing all inner problems successfully and effectively, being optimists and professionals. In their approach to innovative vision of modern education the teachers put into real practice the best findings of the very Teacher Education – Policy, Open Educational Resources. Partnership becomes an effective therapy and antidote against all bad influence we notice sometimes in a modern world political presentation. Teachers’ conferences on the problems of modern education for future sustainable intellectual and moral world development are very urgent in modernity. It is relevant and important more than a medium of information about it and communication. It will create a new communicative world of images of teachers in the process of communication. It will allow the development of what will be a decisive stage in building the structure of “metric system forms” of teachers’ practice. Of course, it may be wide using of innovative methodic of New technological systems and its applied materials. But the leading role in teaching as educating intellectual, emotional and moral belongs to A Teacher, presenting and lighting in a real practice of communication all specifications and relations between “alive participants” and “dead instruments” and relations between them.
The main demand to the participants of the process teaching-learning is increased responsibility to oneself and then to people around in the sphere of communication. A real product of it is a positive intellectual and emotional support of the communicants with recognition of the real volume of personal contribution and qualified development in an educational process.
When we say about prolonged teaching self-education (as well as their students’ necessary!) we mean recognizing the importance of the use of emerging technologies such as cloud computing, e-and m-learning for educational and training purposes. As far as the foreign language teachers is concerned, we take into account the metric system forms of necessary teaching process. In a modern special literature there is a scheme of Monological, Dialogical and Triological Models for In-Service Teacher Education. We mention the most important among them as: [1, p. 170]. 1. Innovative teaching practice is realized voluntarily, being not part of the training process, but is expected to be After the course; 2.Supporting structures ( mentoring) help seek individually ( use of textbooks and web-based information services; 3. Problems are identified and elaborated separately but individual teachers and researches, by teams of teachers and researchers working separately, by teams, including both teachers and researchers; 4. Cognitive tools employed during training promote one’s own professional development process, understanding of researcher’s innovative methods/ content, promote scaffolding through structuring inquirers’ activities to facilitate complex problem-solving; 5.Research and development agendas are identified by the individual in response to need on the job or personal improvement plan, identified by researcher who invite teachers to realize a program designed by the research team, shared objects of activity (innovative teaching practices/ tools) that are identified and developed in the mentored innovation process.
The innovative approach to teachers’ prolonged self-education in our pedagogical experiment happened to be successful and interesting when the teachers organized a wide discussion on the results of the students’ answers summarizing [2, p. 252]. There were several different question - lists on several texts. We consider all of them deserve to be mentioned in our context, but we describe one as an example.

Having excited a great deal of discussion, the problem needs a series of new interesting tests had to be carried out and discussed again for endless improving the process of teaching- learning, responsible for sustainable development of the world oriented to common sense mutual understanding of those interested in education for all.
