Abstract: The professional development of rural teachers can not only enable them to provide high-quality education for rural revitalization but also help to build a dynamic culture and cultivate modern farmers for rural revitalization. It is closely related to the realization of the rural revitalization strategy. However, the rural teachers face many practical difficulties, such as the lack of belief in service of the rural area, the lack of local knowledge and the weakening of endogenous capacity, which will directly affect the implementation and effectiveness of the rural revitalization strategy. Rural teachers need to seek breakthroughs of professional development from the following aspects in order to better serve China's rural revitalization. First of all, they should cultivate personal belief in rural service and strengthen the internal driving force for their professional quality. Secondly, they should expand their local knowledge and reshape the blueprint of their professional growth. Finally, they should give full play to their personal role and strengthen their endogenous ability of professional development.
