It was found that more than half of respondents (N = 3209) have difficulties in carrying out professional activities in the conditions of remote work (inability to perform the full range of planned tasks and professional responsibilities; insufficient competence in ICT; difficulties with organizing time; disorders in communication between teachers and parents to control the quality of students' knowledge; difficulties with involving children in distance learning; complications with student discipline). As a result, respondents experience emotional exhaustion, decreased emotional balance and excessive fatigue. The results of the study confirmed the need for professional development and psychological assistance to teachers. The ways of psychological support of the educational process are outlined.
