ABSTRACT:
Today, in the 21st century, an increasing number of children and youth are facing disorders, problems and challenges regarding the nature of learning, psycho-emotional, social behavior, and further on. Today, the educational system faces not only a number of students with difficulties, but also the multitude of severity and complexity of the difficulties themselves. To successfully cope with these difficulties, immediate needs have arisen to redefine the role of the teacher as a leader in the school both in terms of teaching and in the form of reforming the roles and services that day-to-day access to students, parents and the wider community. The focus of this article is to present a broader and supportive view of the teacher leadership and its psychological and social training towards qualitative changes and ever-increasing demand for education-based training as a significant pre-requisite for EU integration.

KEY WORDS: education leader, teacher, training, integration.
