Kształcenie permanentne nauczycieli w czasie ich aktywności zawodowej

Against the background of the Delors`s report, individual degrees of a teacher`s professional promotion were characterized. Based on the conducted research, the author clarified the conclusions and postulates. The teacher is able to earn a diploma of the highest grade within 10 years of a post-graduate professional activity and can finish further education once becoming a certified teacher. At the same time, the teacher is expected to work till the age of 60 or 65. This means that the teacher does not need to continue a professional development for the next 20-25 years of his professional activity. The author believes that in order to encourage teachers to improve, the process of gaining professional promotion degrees should be extended over time. For example, the teacher should proceed to the next higher level no earlier than after 5-7 years from the last obtained degree. This can contribute to the systematic improvement of the teacher's competence.
