Summary/Abstract: The Polish education system emphasizes the significant role of the teacher in the process of educating children and youth. His subjectivity and autonomy stem from the teacher’s personal nature and, at the same time, from the norms of educational law. Subjectivity determines the duties and rights of the teacher, while autonomy obliges them to creatively develop themselves and their own competences. The teacher’s subjectivity and autonomy are characterized by dynamics, their progression is conditioned by personal improvement and an increase in pedagogical professionalism.
