What Dolnośląski Ośrodek Doskonalenia Nauczycieli does

Dolnośląski Ośrodek Doskonalenia Nauczycieli (DODN) we Wrocławiu is a Polish government-funded teacher training institution operating under the Samorząd Województwa Dolnośląskiego (Lower Silesian Voivodeship Self-Government). It holds accreditation from the Dolnośląski Kurator Oświaty (Lower Silesian School Superintendent) under decision No. 23/2024 dated July 3, 2024, and operates from a headquarters in Wrocław with three regional branches in Legnica, Jelenia Góra, and Wałbrzych, covering the entire Lower Silesian Voivodeship.

The institution delivers professional development for teachers and school leaders through three service formats — online (Microsoft Teams and Moodle), hybrid, and stationary — with product lines spanning improvement courses priced at 35–45 PLN/hour, qualifying courses in Education Management (3,150 PLN for 210 hours) and Family Life Education (4,500 PLN for 300 hours), and customized training councils ordered by school directors at 20 PLN per person per hour. Technology infrastructure relies on Microsoft Office 365, Teams, Moodle, and the Zintegrowana Platforma Edukacyjna (ZPE), Poland's integrated educational platform. Conference, seminar, support-network, and consultation offerings are provided free of charge.

DODN operates an event-driven go-to-market model combining a website registration portal for individual teacher enrollment, direct outreach to school directors for institution-wide training councils, and an extensive partner ecosystem that includes Wrocław-area universities (University of Wrocław, Wrocław University of Economics, Wrocław University of Science and Technology), national institutions (Narodowy Bank Polski, Ośrodek Rozwoju Edukacji), and the Polish Ministry of Education's Reforma26 "Kompas Jutra" reform program. Revenue is generated through a combination of user-paid training fees and public funding as an accredited voivodeship institution; financials are not publicly disclosed.
