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 : "aquarium visits and Study help Premier Bac"
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 DS partim I course ans practices
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 DS 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
Activities will be carried out to help students develop teaching sequences for their respective placements, depending on the subjects.
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 2 proposed and following it until the end
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Teaching placements
Face-to-face course
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 (plateform). 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.

Blended learning
Further 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.
Extra-scholar teaching activities
according to the student's choice, throughout the training year. According to instructions.

Further information:
During the placements (partim 2), students will be visited by members of the specialised biology teaching team for assessment purposes. The aim of these visits is to identify the working environment, difficulties and strengths, as well as progress in the teaching profession (building professional identity). After the observed lesson, students will have the opportunity, depending on availability, to discuss their difficulties or questions with each of the teaching staff, in the presence of the internship supervisor, if possible. The internship will be assessed using criteria provided to students (minimum internship requirements) and available for download on eCampus. A written report will then be provided by the visiting teaching expert, with the assessments obtained and areas for improvement.
A complete internship folder will be required during the teaching expert's visit. This folder, which should be a ring binder, will include the following sections, separated by coloured dividers: cover sheet, internship schedule with the internship supervisor's approval for the periods actually worked, a plan with the topics and methodologies covered, by class, preparations for each period, and a post-hoc analysis of each lesson. This folder must comply with the instructions provided and downloadable from eCampus and must be submitted by the deadlines set at the beginning of the year.
The internship grade II will be calculated based on the grade given by the specialist teacher (certification visit 2), adjusted according to the opinions of the internship supervisors (meeting and report submitted).
There will be no second session for internships. An overall grade of less than 10/20 for the internship may result in deferral.
If the internship file is not complete at the time of the visit, this will result in a failing grade.
Incorrect information (incorrect or incomplete address; incorrect timetable) leading to the impossibility of visiting the internship may result in the removal of 5 internship periods out of the 25.
