Nasz zespół World Primary School Suchy Las, Poznań

With 14 years in education, I will be starting my seventh year as a school leader, and I am very happy that this is happening at World International School.

World International School is a school based in Suchy Las, Poland, for students aged 2 to 15, offering a high quality education with Cambridge International Curriculum. Our goal is to ensure that pupils receive an excellent, engaging and enjoyable education. We have a strong academic focus, encouraging our students to be ambitious and creative.

The preparation of our students for the next stage of their educational journey is, of course, our school’s main focus but we never lose sight of the fact that school years must be enjoyable, exciting and memorable for every student at World International School.

My Teaching Philosophy

My philosophy of teaching is very simple, because I believe that teaching must be simple. Only then can we be sure that proper understanding is taking place and what follows, learning.

In this process, however, a teacher must be only a guide. Students should not totally rely on their teacher when it comes to finding answers and solutions to problems. Therefore, critical thinking should be encouraged within a classroom, then practiced and reinforced by the teacher’s feedback. However, it is students who should develop the skill and the teacher should only guide them by teaching critical thinking, considering problems from more than one perspective, doing proper research before writing a paper or giving an opinion.

Another important skill that students should develop is thinking out of the box. A teacher should encourage students to be creative, to find solutions that may not be straightforward, but require time and effort and to be inquisitive. Only then will they be able to create something unique, come up with a fascinating idea that no one else has ever thought about or invent a completely new way to describe something. Again, the teacher should only encourage students by giving them questions/exercises that can be easily answered with no effort at all and at the same time in the most surprising way. I once asked my students to describe the sea. They could write about the waves and that it’s blue or deep, but when encouraged a little more and asked to be creative, none of these things happened. Instead, their essays read more like poetry.

Also, I believe that boredom kills all the positive feelings and willingness to learn, to discover things. That is why lessons should be interesting, engaging, motivating and directed to the students with all types of learning styles.

Lastly, I believe that one of the most essential skills that the teacher should have is passion. I heard once that “education is like a lantern which lights your way in a dark alley.” The same can be said about a teacher. A good teacher is different from a bad one in the way that he not only teaches, he is like a lantern, he lights the way in the darkness, inspires and is able to make a difference.

I became an educator only because my English teacher was passionate and he spread this passion amongst his students. He was not only teaching but guiding us through life. I always wanted to become like him and that is why I chose my profession.

After a couple of years of teaching I am sure I made it. The moment I realized this was when my student came up to me and said: “Mr Pawel, in the future I want to be just like you”. And this is also the biggest reward I have ever received in my career.

Education and Experience

I am a Doctor of Social Sciences in Communication and Media Studies (Ph.D. at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow). I hold a Bachelor of Education Degree in English Studies, a Master’s degree in Political Science: International Relations, and a Master’s Degree in Management. I completed a 3-year block of pedagogical courses at the University of Lodz and I hold a Qualified Teacher Status from the General Teaching Council for England, the UK. I also passed Teaching License Examinations: Pedagogy and Teaching English for Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) as a part of Educational Professions Licensure of the UAE Ministry of Education and completed CSML (Certificate in School Management and Leadership) course at Harvard University.

Currently I am also a president of an NGO in Poland and an Editor-in-Chief of an online popular science magazine “Przegląd Dziennikarski”. I have been working as a teacher, Middle Leader and Senior Leader for several other British and American schools abroad (following the UK National curriculum, American Education Reaches Out Curriculum and the Massachusetts Curriculum).

Personal life

My passions are: fishkeeping, numismatics and collecting works of art. I spend my free time with my family and friends. I also write and publish books. Two books of mine will be released recently; one of them by Jagiellonian University Press.

I love traveling and enjoy watching movies. I feel best working and spending time in an international and multicultural environment.
