Solution

Le Choix de l'école has demonstrated that it is possible to attract committed individuals to priority education through an innovative program that supports recent graduates and working professionals in transitioning into teaching.

To ensure the success of these teachers and their students, the organization trains and supports them during their first two years in elementary school, middle school, or vocational high school in priority neighborhoods.

This support, consisting of nearly 300 hours of training, includes:

- A one-month summer camp in July to prepare for the start of the school year.

- Subject-specific guidance provided by tenured teachers from the French Ministry of Education.

- Cross-disciplinary training on specific topics such as school dropout rates, career guidance, and classroom management.

- Tailored support to address any concerns related to the profession.

At the end of the program, each teacher receives support to help them clarify and achieve their career goals after the program, whether they wish to continue in teaching or move into another sector.
