Abstract :

The article examines a model of the Philosophy and Civic Education (PCE) teacher in the context of the “School of the Future.” The focus is on the transformation of the teacher’s professional role from a traditional instructor to a leader, mentor, and learning facilitator. The study analyzes the key personal and professional qualities required to deliver curriculum content aimed at fostering critical thinking, moral reflection, and civic responsibility. The proposed model integrates interactive teaching methods and the use of digital technologies as tools to enhance student engagement and active participation. The findings highlight the significance of the PCE teacher as a central factor in developing conscious and active citizens in contemporary society.
