The theoretical basis of the study was the work of the idea of innovative activity as a factor in the development of the school and the general education system as a whole (V.N. Averkin, A.G. Kasprzhak, N.M. Martynova, N.A. Sadovsky and others); general issues of innovation (V.A. Bolotov, V.I. Zagvyazinsky, A.G. Kasprzhak, M.V. Klarin, V.A. Slastenin, etc.); ideas of pedagogical innovation and the role of the teacher in the development of innovative processes (Yu.K. Babansky, V.I. Zagvyazinsky, G.A. Ignatiev, A.P. Tryapitsyna, A.V. Khutorskoy, etc.).As a result of the study, it was found that one of the leading tasks in the development of the lifelong education system is the orientation of educational programs towards teaching the skills necessary for innovative activity, including analytical and critical thinking, the pursuit of new things, the ability to constantly learn, readiness for reasonable risk, creativity and enterprise, willingness to work in a highly competitive environment. At the same time, the practice teacher must be psychologically prepared for pedagogical activity in the new sociocultural conditions, make original non-standard decisions, plan the educational process and predict possible results, be prepared for innovative activities. One of the possible ways of professional development of a teacher-practitioner is his participation in federal innovation platforms. Under the conditions of the federal innovation platform, the development of the scientific and innovative potential of educational organizations, the introduction of innovative educational programs, the inclusion of students and teachers in design and research activities aimed at unlocking the creative potential of educational institutions is being updated.The work emphasizes that according to the research of modern scientists (V.Zhabina, S.N. Tolstov, etc., innovative activity is inseparable from creativity, because it provides the generation of new ideas, the implementation of which become innovations. As a result, the purpose of the study is actualized: development of the teacher’s creative potential in the context of the activities of the federal innovative platform “Pedagogical Leadership”.Materials and methods. A model of complex psychological and pedagogical support for professional self-determination and professional career of students is developed and presented. The model is implemented on the basis of the Municipal Public Educational Institution “School No. 187 with in-depth study of individual subjects” in the city of Novgorod. The school carries out general education programs (the normative period of study is 2 years); general educational programs with an in-depth study of the economy (standard training period of 2 years); general educational programs with in-depth study of mathematics (the normative period of study is 2 years).In order to determine the initial features of professional self-determination of high school students, a pilot study was conducted. The diagnostic tools are based on the following methods: the questionnaire of personal orientations of E. Shostroma, adapted by Yu.E. Aleshina, L.Ya. Gozman, M.V. Zagika – measures the self-actualization of the personality (CAT); methods of studying the factors of attractiveness of the profession (V.A. Yadov, modification N.V. Kuzmina, A.A. Rean).Results. The purpose of the study was realized on the example of the experimental work of the MAOU “School No. 187 with in-depth study of individual subjects” (Nizhny Novgorod). Since 2019, this school has been a member of the federal innovative platform “Pedagogical Leadership”. The authors note that the innovative platform is a motivational, informative and technological resource for the professional development of the teacher. At the same time, along with pedagogical leadership, the development of creative potential is a key element in achieving the effectiveness of the school system, focused on the implementation of innovative projects.The article defines the tasks of implementing the innovative platform "Pedagogical leadership." The following directions of work are revealed: 1) organization of a project-initiative group, the main function of which is to develop a concept and model of activity of an innovation platform, determine the ways of its functioning in terms of child-adult interaction in general education; 2) the formation of a modern and safe digital educational environment, providing high quality and accessibility of general and additional education to the subjects of the educational process; 3) ensuring the professional development of the teacher in accordance with his needs and motives; 4) the development of teaching aids, programs, monographs together with university teachers; 5) the introduction of effective mechanisms for encouraging educators; 6) improving the system for assessing qualifications and the quality of the results of a teacher.

For a relatively short time of our research, we revealed positive dynamics in the studied group of teachers. The results obtained indicate the feasibility of the study.
