In the article under consideration the structural and logical scheme of teaching school teams, which represents step-by-step professional development, is described. It considers the category of the pedagogues, their sphere of action and models of informative educational school environment. A programme called Complex of programmes for administration of the academic activity, training of the employees, that provide their implementation into the school activity, which is based on the idea of the competency building approach has been made.

The corporate culture of high school possesses a powerful educational potential and it is a condition of formation of readiness and successful adaptation of the graduating student in his life after studies to environment. The corporate culture is formed by means of all forms of student's activity, but is the most effective in nonlearning sphere. To be modern and actual, the nonlearning activity, directed on formation of the corporate competence of students, demands making a system of technical and informational support.

Expansion of educational space staticizes problems of continuous formation of teachers and simultaneously creates possibility of their realisation on the basis of use of interactive network technologies. The basic models and principles of the organisation of remote training seminars for improvement of professional skill of teachers are considered.

The article describes methods of generating test tasks that use the knowledge bases of academic disciplines that are formed on the basis of a knowledge production model as well as the apparatus of formal grammars. We present two experimental expert-training systems Formula Tutor and Teoretik, focused mainly on studying the exact sciences. In the Formula Tutor system generation of tasks carried out in two stages: first, by applying the production rules, and then, if necessary, using the outputs in context-free formal grammar. To give tasks to the student familiar forms the apparatus of templates is used. The analysis of student answers is performed by comparing them with the correct answers. If the answer is a mathematical formula it is converted то standard form before comparison. In the Teoretik system production model is also applied. Unlike the first system production rules are used to fix the dependencies of terms of educational discipline. For example, in the course Geometry Ray Dot, Geometric figure shows that to understand the definition of angle the student should know the definition of the ray, dot and geometric figure. The tasks in the system formed by mixing pieces of definitions and provide selectively-constructed answers. Examples in the paper illustrate advantages of described methods.

Technologies offer to the users different information and resources. The author tells that computers give us the following methodological advantages as individual learning, getting much information, unlimited quantity of different tasks.

The expansion of availability and openness of the educational system, improvement of the institutions of the state management and self-governing with the general education institutions requires teachers of the new generation who comply the demands of the new informational society on the level of professional qualification and IT competence and as a consequence of new approaches to the system of further training. That is achieved, amongst others, by the developing of the new programmes in continuing education, including learning to use information and telecommunication technologies.

The article describes the main principles of managing information systems of distance learning as the example of university data portal.

This article contains basic documents underlying the development of test materials at the rate of Informatics (on example of discipline «Technology information»).
