Objectives
The training is intended for candidates for the external competitive examination for the position of Principal Education Advisor (CPE). It prepares students for the written exams of the competitive examination by providing human and social science courses taught by teacher-researchers (history, philosophy and sociology of education, adolescent psychology, public policies, pedagogy) and training in the methodology of the essay and the summary note. The teaching relating to the institutional context (knowledge of the profession, organization and functioning of the educational system, ethical and legal issues) is essentially provided by professionals from the National Education. The program also prepares students for the oral exams through intensive training for the interview and professional situation tests. Finally, the program introduces students to research.
Know-how and skills
The training is based on the professional competencies of the teaching and education professions and more specifically on the specific competencies of the CPE (decree of July 1, 2013). Students develop skills in the analysis of professional situations in school life, student support, project engineering, conducting interviews and team management. The training allows for the acquisition of a mastery of disciplinary knowledge related to education and the development of a reflective posture related to research.
