Summary/Abstract: he aim of the text is, on the one hand, to realize the existence of a contemporary model of functioning of the teacher inherent in the resources of traditional pedagogy, and on the other hand, the possibility of introducing changes in it and adapting to new social conditions. In the undertaken explorations there were indicated the roots of the educational present perpetuating the old Prussian Model developed in the 19th century. Its evaluation and criticism contributed to the emergence of currents of new education, which are reformist pedagogical movement. It left its mark on the teaching profession, selected elements and ideas of which appeared in Paulo Freire’s model combining past and present solutions. It illustrates the persistence of a hierarchical school structure that requires the school and the teacher to undertake modernization. Therefore, an authorial diagram showing selected components of the discussed models coming from the stream of new education, which enables transforming the teacher’s work and thinking favoring leaving the conservative approach, was developed.
