The relevance of the study is due to the necessity to solve the problem of shortage and retention of teaching staff in educational organizations. Currently, schools of young teachers, problem seminars, advanced training programs, individual educational routes, and mentoring are used to overcome professional and personal diffi culties of starter teachers. Mentoring is the most promising form of support for young teachers at their workplace. However, the mentoring potential of pedagogical universities is not fully utilized.

The research relevance. The development of psychological and pedagogical classes as a form of pre-professional teacher training is progressing rapidly. However, the concept of these classes has not yet been refl ected on; their principles of operating have not been defi ned, and the role of universities in this process has not been analyzed. The purpose of the study is to defi ne the fundamental principles for the virtual teacher-training class at the university.
