Abstract
The article is devoted to substantiating the relevance of creating and ensuring the sustainable functioning of a professional network of facilitators as one of the key tools for supporting teachers’ continuous professional development in the context of the digital transformation of education. The purpose of the study is to analyze and develop effective approaches to building a favorable environment for experience exchange, joint professional growth, and the development of both teachers and facilitators. A comparative analysis of existing national and international facilitator networks made it possible to identify successful practices for organizing communities within digital ecosystems, including the use of social networks, specialized communication channels, and chatbots for the rapid exchange of knowledge and support among participants in the educational process. Based on a large-scale survey involving more than 60,000 teachers from all regions of Kazakhstan, key needs for support and guidance through facilitation mechanisms were identified. As part of the network’s digitalization, a multifunctional web system was developed, which includes modules for registration, personal accounts, facilitator databases, libraries, event planning, surveys, feedback, and administrative tools. These modules enable the effective organization of network interaction, expand access to professional resources, and contribute to the development of facilitation practices within the educational environment.
