Nearly 230 teachers from over 100 schools across Poland will arrive on February 27 at the headquarters of the Poznań School of Logistics (WSL). The 3rd Teachers’ Forum organized then is an annual meeting summarizing the assistance the university offers to teachers educating in the professions of “Logistics Technician” and “Freight Forwarding Technician”.
– A few years ago, education in the professions of “Logistics Technician” and “Freight Forwarding Technician” was introduced in Poland. Almost overnight, teachers were faced with the fact of conducting classes in logistics subjects unknown to them. There were no textbooks or teaching aids on the market. The Poznań School of Logistics came to the rescue by launching a nationwide innovative program of cooperation between the university and secondary vocational education – says Wojciech Zalewski, WSL press spokesperson. – Postgraduate studies in logistics for teachers were launched, a series of textbooks for students was written together with the Institute of Logistics and Warehousing, teaching materials were collected, and an internet portal www.szkolysrednie.wsl.com.pl was established – he lists.
For three years, the Teachers’ Forum has been held once a year in February, where the results of the cooperation to date are summarized and new areas for improving education in the “Logistics Technician” and “Freight Forwarding Technician” professions are defined.
This year, during the 3rd Teachers’ Forum, topics such as computer programs used in laboratories, the progress of postgraduate studies for teachers, and subsequent textbooks will be discussed. A novelty will be a report on the 1st National Logistics Olympiad, which 83 schools from all over Poland have joined. WSL will provide teachers with a package of collected electronic teaching aids, and invited partners (DHL, LOGZACT, SKK) will discuss the preparation of today’s logistics technicians for work from the employers’ perspective. Participants of the 3rd TF will have the opportunity to meet with representatives of the Regional Examination Board.
