The problem of a young teacher adaptation to modern school realities is currently one of the most pressing in education. Scientific research in this area covers the issues of social and psychological assistance to young teachers, the need to assign a mentor and the task of providing additional forms of professional development at the initial stage of teaching at school. The purpose of our article is to improve the university stage of future teachers’ preparation so that the professional focus of pedagogical training allows them to creatively use the wide range of methodological tools to solve non-standard problems that arise when organizing educational activities in a modern classroom. In our work, we relied on both the research of domestic and foreign researchers, devoted to acquiring pedagogical skills, and on the results of a senior students’ survey, conducted immediately after their teaching practice at schools. The unique opportunity of the pedagogical education makes it possible, from the first days of a student at a university, to involve them in professionally-oriented practical activities within the framework of the chosen major subject through quasiteaching and reflective practice, that will contribute to gaining individual professional experience.
