Teacher Training: A Model Adapted to Their Needs
Abstract:
This presentation, centered around the new Teacher Training Program at the Université de Sherbrooke, deals with three major aspects: firstly, a buddy system in which every new teacher is accompanied by an experienced mentor in the actual work environment, that is to say, in a vocational training centre: it is the first step of the program; secondly, the learning paradigm-based training model according to new terms and conditions which promote the development of essential teaching skills; finally, individualized curricula allowed in the undergraduate program at the Université de Sherbrooke which meet the needs of every student. Also anticipated are reflections and considerations on the new requirements of Quebec's Minister of Education and their repercussions on the implementation of this program.
