The present article describes the fundamentals of the Teachers’ Development Standards (TDS) designed in the School of Education, Warsaw. It provides an analysis of the current context of teacher education in Poland (and available methods of professional development) as well as a brief outlook on the global challenges education is facing concerning economic, social and environmental issues. In a changing world, professional teachers are needed all the more. The article then presents the basic principles behind the Standards and the evaluation concept introduced in the School of Education. In the document presented in the article, the following four areas of professional development are mentioned: establishing a learning environment, knowledge about the discipline and teaching thereof, planning the didactic process, and managing the didactic process, each followed with example indexes. The experiences of the School of Education with the TDS can thus be used by other institutions. The article finally presents the conclusions drawn in the internal evaluation process.
