Neopass@ction: a training tool for beginning teachers

Overview & Synopsis

As part of the reform of teacher education in France, the Neopass@ction platform1 seeks to provide examples of actual teacher work at national level as distance self-training resources or institutionalised training with trainers or tutors. Neopass@ction is mostly based on video resources likely to significantly contribute to the professionalisation of beginning teachers. This paper examines the various training and support schemes available. Unlike some normative models based on the identification and dissemination of 'good practice', Neopass@ction resources are designed to emphasise the gradually changing activities and attitudes of beginners.
