• Introduction to the thematic (practice & theory)
• Intervision method is used:
o Each School Manager outlines an issue currently experiencedon the
related thematic
o One issue is selected
o After having clarified this issue, each member of the group proposes
one solution to the problem
o The one who presented the problem, selects the best proposed
solution
• Follow-up of the problem resolution each next session
