Pedagogical staff

If the teacher’s not on fire, neither are the students

Open Future staff are qualified teachers with passion. Obviously, even the best educationa lprogrammes, and we consider Middle Years Programme to be such one, have to be implemented by teachers who believe in it, who will get to know it well, and who will be implementing it consequently during their work with students. The programme is a tool to aid teachers in their work. We realise that competent, positively motivated teachers are a necessary factor for students’ success.

Features of our teachers:

  • very good knowledge of English – this language is equal to Polish at Open Future. Starting from trainings teachers take part in that are conducted in English, through preparation of documents, to communication with some parents and other staff members who do not speak Polish. We use English on everyday basis. Some subject classes can be conducted in that language, too.
  • high competence – both academic, didactic, management, social and intercultural ones, so that teachers can not only skillfully manage a group of up to 18 students, but also cooperate with parents and build relationships that will make the coopaeration as effective as possible.
  • engagement into work – especially at the beginning of our activity, enthusiasm and a huge workload will be necessary, so that we can prove to ourselves and to the parents that learning is pleasant and effective, and that it provides students with many new skills they can be proud of. Teachers’ engagement into their work will translate into students’ motivation.
  • partnership approach towards students – we deeply believe that except school skills and gaining knowledge, developing students’ social skills is crucial, too. It is important that they should be open-minded, able to solve problems with respect to each other. A teacher has to be the person who will give students and example of such an approach, both in the classroom and in real life.

Our teachers:

Cooperation between teachers is an important element of working in our Middle School. Knowledge mustn’t be divided into subjects, as students need to know that different disciplines concern various aspects of the same issues. E.g. during History classes, Napoleon’s wars should be discussed, at the same time Geography classes should concern the regions they took place in, during Polish classes – our national anthem should be analysed, as it includes a line about Napoleon Bonaparte, while during Science classes, students should calculate the speed of a bullet from Napoleon’s gun. Thanks to knowledge from different disciplines being merged, students remember a lot more and see a lot more sense in learning. Of course, teachers take a lot of time to plan the distribution of the content together, so that the aim of holistic teachig is achieved.
