The scientific discussion about the phenomenon of career rarely concerns teachers, therefore in the review of the book titled Kariery zawodowe nauczycieli. Konteksty – Wzory – Pola dyskursu by Hanna Kędzierska, published in 2012, I pay attention to the interesting approach to this issue, proposed by the author. The broad context of teachers’ professional activity constitutes an opportunity for reflection on the consequences of the political transformation for the ethos of the teacher’s work in modern times.
