Summary/Abstract: The subject of analysis is the model of authorial education that became the condition not only for breaking authoritative, monistic education in the conditions of totalitarianism but also for making state school teachers feel freedom and professional responsibility for upbringing and education quality of students at the beginning of political transformation in Poland. It is about the kind of teacher creative commitment in making and carrying out educational projects which is also in democratic states the basic condition for transformative defiance in schools governed from the top‑down. The entrepreneurship of teachers should emerge not only as their right to self‑determination as far as educational process is concerned but also as their right to implement pedagogical innovations from the bottom‑up. In the last 25 years many non‑public pre‑school and schools have been established and many innovations, especially at the beginning of the 1990s, in the form of proprietary curriculum in public schools were implemented. It should be stressed that autonomy and pedagogical creativity of teachers and parents is of extraordinary importance for creating authorial teaching and learning which is characteristic of postmodern world.
