The study analyzes the role of educational software, online formative assessments, and virtual simulations in strengthening assessment skills. Emphasis is placed on the need for pedagogical innovation and continuous professional development to ensure that teacher trainees are equipped with the necessary skills for modern classroom assessment. The article also presents practical recommendations for incorporating educational technologies into teacher training programs.
