SUBJECT SPECIALISTS

Lower Elementary Teacher / Lower Elementary Programme Coordinator/ Co-Homeroom Teacher
Ms. Ola
I joined the Canadian School of Warsaw community in September 2014.
I graduated from the Faculty of Resocialization with a specialization in Teaching children with behavioral problems. I also have a master’s degree from the Faculty of Pedagogy, with a specialization in Early Childhood Education. I graduated from both faculties at the University of Warsaw. I am an experienced, dedicated, and IB trained teacher who uses the NVC strategies daily.
I strongly believe in project-based learning and my approach to education involves strong and positive relationship between me and my students, as well as an inquiry-based, active learning. My students are encouraged to be increasingly self-directed in their learning journey, with me providing guidance and feedback as needed.
I believe every child is unique and deserves a caring, inspiring, and engaging atmosphere in which to grow emotionally, intellectually, and socially. As an educator I want to help students meet their fullest potential in these areas by providing a safe, risk-taking, and collaborative environment.
I really believe that positive elementary education is essential to create successful life-long learners.
On a personal note, I am a big fan of bike riding, caring for my plants, and of course my cat!

Lower Elementary Teacher / Co-Homeroom Teacher

I hold a degree in Early Childhood and Primary Education from the University of Warsaw, and I have also studied remedial education at the Academy of Special Education, as well as speech therapy and special education.
In my work, I prioritize learning through play, as I believe children learn best when accompanied by joy, curiosity, and positive emotions. I also conduct therapeutic sessions for children with special educational needs, as well as developmental activities that support their growth and help them discover their individual capabilities. I believe that every child is unique and deserves support that allows them to develop their talents and discover their own potential.
Children constantly inspire me with their curiosity about the world, their creativity, and their extraordinary ideas. Working with them brings me great joy and motivates me to seek new ways to make learning an adventure that is interesting, joyful, and full of positive experiences.

Polish Teacher (maternity leave)
Ms. Kasia
I am a graduate of the University of Warsaw, where I graduated in Polish philology, obtaining a master’s degree and professional qualifications as a Polish language teacher in primary, middle and high school, and as a speech therapist. Even before starting my studies, due to my interest in theater and acting, I took part in various theater workshops during which I had the opportunity to see for myself what the specificity of the art of acting is. In theater, I am fascinated by exploring both my own possibilities and limitations, and shaping my own character. I like to use my theatrical experience during Polish lessons, introducing, among others, drama form, thanks to which my students learn in an unconventional way, and the knowledge gained through experience stays with them for longer.
During my studies I became convinced of the charms of the profession of a Polish teacher, and during the internships and internships I experienced how much joy and satisfaction this profession brings. Working with children and young people is extremely inspiring for me, and the opportunity to share my knowledge and observe the development of young people gives a sense of fulfillment, becomes a motivation to look for new, interesting forms of teaching, as well as to improve my own teaching workshop, so that every day, I become a better educator with the lessons learned. During the classes, I try to use various forms of teaching to maximize the involvement of students in the lesson and encourage them to work together. I try to instill in my pupils a curiosity to discover new things and phenomena so that they can not only gain knowledge, but also use it on other levels, both scientific and life.
In my work, I am guided by consistency, I try to use the time allocated to classes in such a way that students can get the most out of them.
Privately, I am a cheerful, energetic person with a positive attitude towards the world and people. I like to spend my free time actively, use it to explore new, interesting places, travel, close and distant, meetings with friends, developing my passions and physical activity in various forms. There are also times when I like to calm down, relax with my favorite music, with an interesting book in my hand and a cat on my lap. I have a weakness for spring flowers, Masurian sunsets and … chocolate.

Mr. Bartek

I believe that the teacher during their class should be the one that says the least. It is up to the students to find out what is going on around them and simply be curious about the world around them, to ask questions, to try something on their own. The whole world is new for them after all and thus the teacher should be the guide, helping find the right way to understand the environment.

I started to dance when I was 5 and my first experience was dancing in the Warsaw Ballet School, then ballet turned into commercial dance and ended up in contemporary style.
13 years ago (by accident) it turned out that teaching dance is my other big passion, both kids and adults. Three years ago I had a great experience attending summer workshops for dance teachers in the Broadway Dance Center in New York. Do I like teaching? Love it!

The original project of the “Philosophical Discussion Club” and publication of an anthology of poetry by participants of my literary workshops are considered by me as one of my greatest teaching achievements. All proceeds from the publication were allocated to humanitarian aid for Burma.
I also participated in many projects related to multicultural education. I popularized the activity of “Free West Papua Campaign Poland” among students and participated in the Festival of Stateless Communities.
