Beyond the European Commission call for projects (see our sister projects), YEAH! is also engaged in other collaborative initiatives that aim to foster knowledge sharing, innovation, and cross-disciplinary synergies.
Pegase is a “Pilot Hub for Teacher Training and Educational Research”, winner of the PIA3 call for projects and funded by the General Secretariat for Investment. Its ambition is to transform teaching practices from preschool to high school in order to strengthen the acquisition of fundamental skills (language and mathematics) and thereby contribute to reducing the inequalities that affect the education system. Mastery of these fundamental skills strongly shapes students’ academic and professional trajectories, and is largely influenced by their social and territorial backgrounds as well as their cognitive abilities. Achieving such an ambition requires mobilizing all stakeholders to design, disseminate, and improve research-based pedagogical tools that are adapted to the practical constraints of the field and genuinely embraced by teachers.
To this end, the Hub is building an ecosystem that closely involves UGA laboratories, the INSPE and Rectorates of Grenoble and French Guiana, and the entire teaching community. This ecosystem is inherently collaborative, with initiatives systematically bringing together researchers, teacher trainers, and teachers. It is also territorially distributed, with the creation of 14 EducLabs that serve as local meeting and support hubs for all the Hub’s activities. Furthermore, it is open to the socio-economic world (EdTech companies, publishers, local authorities, associations, etc.) to pool expertise and facilitate the dissemination of practices in the field. Finally, this ecosystem is designed to be a learning one, with regular and independent evaluations of all its initiatives.
Five major strands of action are being developed in parallel within this ecosystem. The Hub is committed to transforming the initial training offer of the INSPE in Grenoble and French Guiana, making it more research-based, strengthening its links with schools, and providing better support to new teachers. It is also working to place an evidence-based approach at the core of teachers’ continuous professional development, relying on research data to foster their growth. In addition, the Hub is driving a genuine collaborative R&D policy to design resources directly useful for the classroom, while testing the effectiveness of new teaching practices through an ambitious longitudinal cohort monitoring program. Lastly, it promotes the broad dissemination of the resources it develops, through a multi-channel diffusion strategy (website, platforms used by teachers, publishing) and regular collaborative events across the territory.
