DESCRIPTION OF CONTENTS:

This article deals with the «primary-secondary» transition through examples of initiatives taken by schools to assist students, as well as reflections drawn from two pedagogical days.

In the secondary school, we are in a much larger school, faced with several teachers and the type of relationship changes dramatically due to the number of students.

So there are breaks in the continuity of learning, but also at the emotional and social level, while, on paper, the school career is designed to take place in continuity.

How to try to mitigate the effects of these breaks? Better collaboration between teachers seems to be one of the keys to better run the educational continuum.

The author identifies several best practices such as organizing meetings between primary and secondary teachers, working in interdisciplinarity in order to establish links between subjects, sensitizing students at normal school ...

COMMENTS ON THIS PUBLICATION:

The breaks are necessary in a life. We must ensure that they are not too painful, but we can not totally avoid them. The change of school is, finally, one of the « rites of passage » into adolescence in our society.
