The 2nd International Conference “Teacher Management – Development – Change” was held on the 19th and 20th of May 2025 at the Congress Center of the University of Agriculture University of Agriculture in Krakow (Poland). It was organised by the University of Agriculture in Krakow, (Poland) and the University of the National Education Commission in Krakow (Poland). During this conference, PhD Ewa Dybowska (UIK) presented a paper titled “Safe Teacher – Safe Teaching – Safe School – Building Safe Educational Environments For All”.
The Conference’s focus was on the personae of school teachers, university teachers, knowledge managers and development and change promoters, who function in a world marked by dynamic socio-cultural and civilizational changes. It was concluded that they are the ones who should become the initiators of actions connected with their own development and people management. By doing this, they would become the promoters of development and change in others.
Development and change not only facilitates new activities, initiatives or undertakings, but they also show new, hitherto unknown challenges (including increasing differences in understanding education and teaching methods by different agents, methods of developing learning communities or managing the potential of academic staff, teachers, students and pupils).
This, in turn, encourages the implementation of new strategies and solutions which use personal resources and the potential of teachers, students and parents. Despite numerous studies into teachers, school, university and modernizations in these areas, systemic solutions are still lacking. Thus, the need to analyze, discuss and continue the search for new solutions regarding teachers’ work. The opportunity to meet and discuss during the lectures and workshops at the conference was an excellent platform to fulfil this need.
