Institutional and Local Resources for Teachers in Dijon
For teachers in Dijon, several structures and programs provide tangible and valuable support. The OEPRE program (Opening the School to Parents for Children’s Success) offers a learning space for newly arrived foreign parents focused on teaching French, the values of the Republic, and the functioning of the school system. This initiative aims to facilitate the integration of families and strengthen the school-family link.
The CASNAV (Academic Center for the Schooling of Newly Arrived Allophone Children and Children from Itinerant Families and Travelers), coordinated by Isabelle Lukowiak, plays a fundamental role in supporting allophone students. The center collaborates with experts like Françoise Thuillier, a graduate in archaic Japanese language and literature, for in-school training. These trainings focus particularly on the inclusion of allophones in regular classes, thus providing teachers with suitable tools and strategies.

Tools and Educational Initiatives to Enrich Teaching
In Dijon, teaching is not limited to traditional methods. Innovative initiatives allow teachers to enrich their pedagogical practice. The integration of theater into lessons, for example, stimulates students’ creativity and facilitates the learning of literary texts. The poem ‘Demain dès l’aube’ by Victor Hugo is often staged to help students understand and feel the poetry.
The MODAP (Literacy and Pre-Professionalization Module), coordinated by Laura Bencini at the René Auffray high school in Clichy, is another inspiring initiative. This program, active since November 2019, welcomes unaccompanied minors (MNA) and young people who have never been or have been little schooled previously (NSA). This approach helps bridge educational gaps while preparing students for successful professional integration.
Teachers can also draw inspiration from the work of Marianne Ecochard, who uses the book ‘Nicky and Vera’ to address historical and humanitarian themes with her students at Camille Chevalier middle school. This method enriches lessons by offering varied materials suited to different levels of understanding.
To maximize the effectiveness of these initiatives, here are some practical recommendations:
- Combine artistic activities such as theater with literature classes to energize learning.
- Use specialized modules like MODAP to meet the needs of struggling students.
- Incorporate diverse materials such as picture books or illustrated stories to capture students’ attention.
These initiatives, while varied, share a common goal: to enrich teaching through innovative and inclusive practices.
