The peculiarities of pedagogical practice, the influence of a thoughtful lesson planning on both the efficient training of the educator and the development of his/her competencies are described in the article. It seems that nowadays much attention is paid to the reformed school: innovations in curriculum, development of teaching methods, and analysis of learning and teaching problems. However, curriculum, methods and the way teachers are trained should change because life is changing all the time, social culture, education and technologies are developing rapidly, the society and its needs are impermanent. We should prepare our students to share knowledge and experience, to follow universal values, to evaluate good and bad, true and false, moral and immoral things during pedagogical practice, to be able to work in new conditions, to teach creatively and to match curriculum with life requirements.
