Effective up-skilling teachers who are involved in teaching software engineering should take into account the challenges of teaching practice. Despite the long practice of organizing the teaching of software engineering and computer science in educational organizations in Russia, relevant up-skilling courses are not methodologically supported. The paper introduces an active, practice-oriented approach to organizing up-skilling courses for teachers who teach software engineering and development. The authors developed the level model for the advanced up-skilling teachers interested in mastering and delivering modern technologies of Agile software engineering and development. Authors implemented the model for organizing teachers’ up-skilling courses in intensive schools for engineering, development, design and management of software products

The factory of the programs is created by students of the cybernetics department at KNU. A primary objective of this factory is the electronic presentation of the "Software engineering" textbook, created based on international programs "Curricula-2001" and intended for mastering of this discipline by students and acquiring knowledge on these fundamental aspects. It is used for implementation by the students of laboratorials, diplomas and master's works. Their algorithms and programs are developed at technological lines (TL) with the specifications in various programming languages (C#, Pascal, etc), WSDL, IDL and saved in repository for the prepared program products (artifacts and programs). Factory helps to study the textbook and create products that can be used by the other students at different universities from ready reusable components in the MS.NET system.
