Main themes
For the work placement :
In accordance with Title II, Chapter V of the RFIE 2021 decree, the student-trainee will be placed in a professional situation in ordinary or specialised secondary schools, whether full or part-time, secondary schools for social advancement or secondary arts schools with reduced timetables. These professional situations should enable them to develop their professional project, gradually develop their professional identity, build a reflective practitioner attitude, deepen their subject knowledge, including subject didactics, as well as pedagogical differentiation, remediation, personalised support and co-teaching, develop skills linked to the social role of the teacher and gradually learn to work independently and as part of a team.
In these professional situations, the student-trainee will be required to carry out classroom activities (observation of teachers and learners, teaching) and out-of-class activities (e.g. observation of the school institution, socio-professional integration/organisational socialisation activities, active participation in year, subject, interdisciplinary or project meetings, in connection with steering plans, remedial periods, participation in a pedagogical day, a class council, a group or individual parents' meeting, etc.).
For the placement support seminar:
In terms of support for placements, the group seminars will work, through the creation of a portfolio, on teaching identity, the representations of trainees, the pedagogical, didactic, relational, social and organisational dimensions of professional practice, and reflexivity.
In Physical Education, the seminar deals with themes directly related to the specific skills of the profession (professionalism, preparation, interpersonal skills, didactics and communication, progression and coherence, empathy, motivation/mobilisation, heterogeneity at school, health education).
Staff, trainers and placement supervisors are invited on several occasions to share their experience in the field on one or other of these topics and to enrich the discussions with the students.
