The “Internet+” era has brought tremendous changes in the roles and functions of teachers, and has put forward new requirements for the professional development of teachers. The professional development of teachers in minority areas bears on the quality of education in ethnic areas. In the era of “Internet+”, teachers in minority areas must seize the opportunities brought by the time and respond to the challenges of the time to meet the requirements for professional development in the ethnic areas. Based on the “Internet+” perspective, this study conducts an in-depth analysis of the roles and functions of teachers in the new era, and explores the opportunities and challenges faced by teachers regarding professional development in the “Internet+” era. Through research on the professional development of teachers in a certain ethnic county, the study puts forward the strategies and suggestions for the professional development of teachers in ethnic areas in the era of “Internet+”.
