Abstract
The article addresses the issues of the advanced training of education executives under the conditions of its informatization, which entails the development and introduction of new models of instruction using information and telecommunication technology. It is emphasized that the willingness of the senior executive of an educational establishment to use information and telecommunication technology is an important precondition for the shift to the personality-oriented training, which is the requirement of the development of the information society. The article also presents the mechanisms of training professors teaching in continuous education programs to use knowledge management methods, which are based on the pedagogical design. This helps organize an effective educational process in the most acceptable form – distance learning, which ensures the value education of executives who remain in service. Among the forms of same, the author analyzes distance
e-courses, online learning, methodological seminars conducted as webinars, etc.
The article states that the concept of pedagogical design is lacking in modern Ukrainian education research; the requirements to the professional competence and understanding of the concept “pedagogical design” are yet to be defined; there are no programs available to train education practitioners in this field.

Key words: knowledge management, pedagogical design, distance learning, innovative pedagogical techniques, advanced training of education executives.
