Dear Readers,
Today, we are given the opportunity to be more connected with the world than we ever have before. This is a wonderful thing, and an invitation to practice authenticity and mindfulness. Unfortunately, what we are not always aware of is that the portrait of humanity that we see through selfies and screenshots is not real life; it is a curation.
The term “in real life” or IRL emerged in the early days of the internet to distinguish between offline and online, positioning offline as the “most real”. However, as the internet has progressed by leaps and bounds, and we have continued to embrace the digital, it seems misguided to dismiss online interactions as “unreal”.
A more fluid organization of online and offline life has transformed our learners; research has highlighted its numerous benefits: increased flexibility and autonomy, higher potential productivity and greater balance between work and life. On the other hand, it is suggested that the hybridization of learning spaces might have major critical implications on health, career, personal growth and relationships.
It all boils down to balance; education is a lifelong process and we must always think that our learners will have to be online and offline citizens. The key is to remain as authentic as possible, while keeping a balance between our two-pronged reality .
All our best!
Julie & Micheline

MEQ French Second Language FGA
Recherche de ressources: Ententes de service
Here is an important message from the French Second Language department.
Depuis la dernière année, l’équipe responsable du programme d’études et de l’évaluation, au ministère de l’Éducation, travaille activement à la création et à l’actualisation de nouvelles épreuves ministérielles en Français, langue seconde à la FGA. Les travaux se poursuivront dans les prochaines années et, afin de mener des travaux de qualité, votre expertise et vos connaissances sont convoitées.
Plus concrètement, pour l’année 2023-2024, nous souhaitons créer deux ententes de service :
- Un ou une enseignant(e), à raison de 60 jours dans l’année scolaire (30% de tâche), qui participerait activement à la rédaction et à l’élaboration des épreuves ministérielles ciblées
- Un ou une conseiller(ère) pédagogique, à raison de 10 jours dans l’année scolaire (5 % de tâche), qui agirait à titre de conseiller en fournissant des avis professionnels sur les travaux en cours.
Merci de communiquer votre intérêt aux responsables du programme d’études et de l’évaluation :
Stéphanie Forcier et Myriam Boisvert
