Operating Procedure

(publics, participants, time, duration, place)

Ø    First of all, the differanciated instruction is essential in the class. The national curriculum insists on the importance to consider the different pace of learning to help each pupil to develop his skills. The differanciated instruction and the help for pupils with difficulties begin in the classroom.

Only the teacher and the pupils, anytime and/or during the time devoted to it in the schedule. The duration depends of the needs (groups of needs, projects, workshops...)

Ø     PPRE :

Programmes Personnalisés de Réussite Educative, which means Personnalized Programme for Educationnal Achievement. => Specific and short plan of action to prevent the difficulty and make adjustements.

The Head of the school and/or the Principal propose to the parents to establish a PPRE. The teacher leads the project with the help of the RASED and other partners involved such as the School Medical Service or the logopedist.

Ø    RASED Interventions (Primary School only). The RASED Network was created in 1990 to bring a very specialized help for pupils whose difficulties can’t be solved by the teacher in the class. There’s an in-depth analysis of the difficulties (roots...).  

When ? When the differanciated instruction is not enough. These interventions are made by specialized and certified teachers able to deal with severe difficulties and to take appropriate remedial actions. They work during the scholar time in accordance with the family and external partners. It’s a global solution : Learning, re-education and psychological.
