Learning unit contents
Teaching placements
Practice teaching is made up of important steps in the progressive acquisition of teaching skills. Students working on course preparation and related tasks must apply themselves as diligently as possible to these tasks. The teaching intern must sign a statement promising to act with respect toward the institution, the intern director and the students he or she is given to instruct, in moral terms as well as pedagogical terms. This promise is a declaration on the part of the intern which will be made available to students, and which must be signed at the beginning of the year. Internships with teaching are opportunities for students to be exposed to different kinds of teaching, different ways of presenting material in class, and different kinds of publics (students).
Reflexive practical work
Students will be able to gain perspective with regard to their own teaching practice during teaching exercises and practice teaching; there will be many occasions for students to analyze their own practices in order to improve.
Extra-scholar teaching activities
This activity is participative, according to the student's choice between three possibilities : "aquarium visits, Study help Premier Bac ou taking part to Printemps des sciences"
The teacher can also propose a specific activity linked to an opportunity that arises
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Teaching placements
The principal objective of practice teaching is to put the future teacher in situations that he or she will encounter in professional practice. These teaching situations will lead future teachers to acquire skills as they pursue their initial training for the profession of teacher.
After practice classes are over, the student will be able to schedule a practice, to prepare a complete lesson plan for a class, to demonstrate a willingness to reflect upon his or her practice, and to study that practice in order to improve it.
Reflexive practical work
Upon completion of the course students should be able to:
-analyse their practice in order to improve it;
-analyse the practice of others in order to enrich their vision of teaching in the sciences;
-take into account their own representations of the profession in order to enable them to develop.
Extra-scholar teaching activities
The objective of these activities is for students to encounter the systemic context of teaching and the school; to look at students and their education in a different way; and to learn to work in a system.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Teaching placements
Having followed DD partim I course.
In order to be allowed to enter the teacher training programme, students must sign an internship protocol and must have participated on a regular basis in classes and exercises (attendance is verified) and have completed the active practice stages of DD partim I. If in the course of activities a lack of preparation is observed the faculty for special didactics in biology reserves the right to require individual students to remedy this lack and to demand that additional conditions be met prior to that student being allowed to practice teach. These activities can be postponed too. The student must observe the internship rules established for the classes of special didactics in biology available on eCampus

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Teaching placements
Experimented teachers can be helpers in order to contribute to the construction of didactic sequences for each student's benefit, depending on what is asked for and the subjects involved.
Reflexive practical work
Return periods for stages and practical exercises will furnish opportunities for working on the practice of reflection with students.
Extra-scholar teaching activities
Students must choose one activity between 3 proposed and following it until the end
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

Further information:
Second year: in January, 3-4 weeks, and before Spring's holidays, 2-3 weeks.
Students propose their internship directors to the Special Didactics Service for biology. Students will have a different supervisor for each of three stages of their training. Students must switch types of teacher training for a minimum of 10 course periods (10 x 50' of scientific training) ( professional or technique of qualification courses).
Students will make their exact internship schedule available at least one week before the beginning of the period, with the help of an on line form to be filled out. Hours spent doing practice teaching, etc., which are not scheduled in this manner in a timely fashion will not be counted.
The student who's teaching in a school could only validate 10 course periods in his school, in his own classes or not, according to didactic teachers' advice.
Each student will be observed during stages by didactics specialists. The internship report will be written according to instructions that are posted on eCampus and are downlaodable. This report will be available during all the practice.
Reflexive practical work
Blended learning
Additional information:
Time spent in reflection on practice is not necessarily separated from time in class or time spent doing exercises: post-internship discussions, analysis of shared practices, and discussion of practices are opportunities to work on this.
The return of the internship can be scheduled online (individual interview)
Extra-scholar teaching activities
according to the student's choice, throughout the training year. According to instructions.

Further information:
During the internship (partim II), the student will be visited by members of the special biology didactics team for certification purposes. The aim of this visit is to identify the work context, difficulties and strengths, as well as progress in the teaching profession (construction of professional identity). After the lesson observed, the student will have the opportunity, depending on availability, to discuss any difficulties or questions with each of the teaching staff, in the presence of the placement supervisor if possible. The evaluation of the placement will be based on criteria provided to the students and downloadable from eCampus. A written report will then be provided by the visiting tutor, with the assessments obtained.
A complete course folder will be required for the visiting tutor's visit. In a ring binder, it will include the following headings, separated by coloured dividers: heading sheet, timetable for the placement with the approval of the placement supervisor for the periods actually worked, a timetable with the themes and methodologies worked on, by class, the preparations for each period and an after-action analysis of each lesson. This binder must comply with the instructions provided and downloadable from eCampus and must be returned by the deadline set at the beginning of the year.
The mark for internship II will be calculated on the basis of the specialist tutor's mark (certificate visit 2) and the opinions of the internship supervisors, who will be taken into account through their meetings and the reports submitted.
No second session will be organised for the internship. An overall mark of less than 10/20 for the work internship will result in the exam being postponed.
If the work internship folder is not complete at the time of the visit, a mark of Insufficiency will be awarded.
Incorrectly filled in timetables (false or incomplete address; incorrect timetable), making it impossible to visit the work placement, may result in the deletion of 5 of the 25 work placement periods.
