Ecological education is, to some extent, an independent direction of pedagogical activity, forming its own system which is determined by the ecological culture being delivered through it.
The usage of a complex approach allows substantiating the demands to the readiness of teachers to realize it. The personal and professional readiness of the teacher is an open, complex, poly-functional, and multi-component system. Its model includes integral features, characteristic to the personality of a socially mature individual. These personal features form a basis necessary to create the ecological culture. The main components of the professional readiness of the teacher-ecologist are: the level of development of the professionally significant personal features, the gnostic readiness, the level of methodical readiness, the level of mastering the ecological and pedagogical ethics.
