Dear members MDFDE, dear Internet friends,<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am honored to announce the appointment of\u00a0our dear friend\u00a0Isabelle DAVID, the dynamic Director of the French-American School of Chicago (EFAC) since May 2012, as our new Executive Director of Education MDFDE\/Midwest-Chicago.<\/p>\n

In this capacity, Ms. Isabelle DAVID, a distinguished international business consultant as well as academic expert in the teaching of French, foreign languages and Information and Communications Technology (ICT), will be our permanent liaison between schools in the Midwest and the Alliance Fran\u00e7aise de Chicago\u00a0and schools,\u00a0high schools\u00a0and universities worldwide participating in our unique project #MDFDE\/Paris-NYC16 <\/strong>on the occasion of the 130th Anniversary of the Statue of Liberty in 2016. Said project includes an educational program\u00a0(ICT) with an Office 365\u200f\u00a0collaboration plateform, which will be officially launched in the next few weeks.<\/b>
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

Born in Saumur in Maine et Loire, France, Isabelle David studied literature and languages at the University of Angers, then at the Sorbonne in Paris. She holds a Master\u2019s degree in German and a Bachelor\u2019s degree in French Foreign Language (FLE).<\/p>\n

Isabelle lived twelve years in Vienna, Austria and taught French language and literature for the Austrian Ministry of Education.<\/p>\n

Alongside her career in education, Isabelle pursued a career in business, as project manager, manager and consultant for Siemens, Austria (9 years), SynerDeal, France (2 years) and finally Accenture, United States (7 years).<\/p>\n

Besides being a commitment business professional, Isabelle continued to devote a significant portion of her time and energy to education and the arts, in particular, designing and teaching language courses and literature for the Architecture Program of the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT)<\/strong> in Paris.<\/p>\n

Since arriving in the United States, she has developed and taught numerous courses in literature and culture at the Alliance Fran\u00e7aise in Chicago.<\/strong> Isabelle runs several literary circles and writes a blog devoted to literature and the arts. (https:\/\/surunlivreperchee.wordpress.com)<\/a><\/p>\n

Isabelle speaks four languages besides French and English: German, Russian, Italian and Spanish.<\/p>\n

Within the French-American School of Chicago, she can concentrate on her life\u2019s passion, teaching the language and cultures of the French world, while also leveraging skills gained in the business world.<\/p>\n

The French American School of Chicago<\/strong> is the result of a successful collaboration between two educational systems that teach the French and American languages and cultures.<\/p>\n

The partnership between EFAC,<\/strong> Abraham Lincoln School <\/strong>and Lincoln Park High School<\/strong> is beneficial both educationally and socially. The result of the dual program is quality students who develop a broad range of skills. Each year, the success rate and honors received on national tests confirm the program\u2019s excellence and our students are admitted to prestigious American and European universities. The presence of EFAC<\/strong> reinforces a multi-cultural education in a world where international trade continues to grow.<\/p>\n

The French American School of Chicago (EFAC)<\/strong>, formerly the French School of Chicago, was established within the public institution of Abraham Lincoln Elementary School (ALES) in 1981. Over time, the program gained momentum and finally starting in the 1995-1996 school year, EFAC program<\/strong> in Lincoln Park High School (LPHS) is covering the remaining grades up to \u201cTerminale\u201d (12th grade).<\/p>\n

EFAC<\/strong> is a French school located in the heart of two American public schools. It welcomes children of Francophone background and offers a bilingual and bi-cultural education approved by the Ministry of Education through CM2. The middle school and high school follow the curriculum of the CNED (National Center for Distance Learning).<\/p>\n

Since 1980, the French American School of Chicago (EFAC)<\/strong> mission is to offer students a francophone education recognized by the French Ministry of Education. With its inclusion in the American public system students receive both a bilingual and bicultural education, which allows them to expand their knowledge of the open issues of our multicultural society and to become more responsible and independent citizens. The dual experience of learning and socialization also offers them the opportunity to pursue studies in the French education system or in the educational systems of English-speaking countries.<\/p>\n

EFAC<\/strong> is distinguished by its privileged location within two American public schools. It combines the excellence of the two school systems. Students follow the American school and the French program of National Education. The French curriculum is approved until the end of primary school (CM2) and then based on the CNED (National Centre for Distance Education) for middle and high school, where the emphasis is on literature and world history.<\/p>\n

EFAC<\/strong> students have the opportunity to experience different methods of knowledge acquisition in a unique learning environment. Their journey prepares them to pursue studies in the French system or in another English educational system as well as passing the tests of the French Baccalaureate and International Baccalaureate of Geneva.<\/p>\n

EFAC<\/strong> students follow class every day in French and English, with each course having its own learning methods that meet the needs of each culture. Students greatly benefit from the teaching diversity in the academic program and socially. During their school day they pass from one context to the other several times, learning to manage their schedules and activities within the language and the code of both educational and social systems. The result is a more sophisticated level of reflection and analysis. The pace is intense and family support is essential.<\/p>\n

The school is integrated into the American school and adopts the same calendars and schedules. The French program is considered a \u201cspecialty program\u201d, in Abraham Lincoln School. The EFAC teaching team<\/strong> works with faculty from Lincoln Elementary<\/strong> and Lincoln High School<\/strong> to coordinate the best programs for students and to setup class schedules. Teachers ensure that materials are addressed consistently throughout the year. They support and provide encouragement to the students as the share their time between the two programs.<\/p>\n

For the elementary school (K-8), EFAC follows the same school boundary requirement as ALES and therefore cannot admit students who do not reside within the boundaries set for Abraham Lincoln Elementary School<\/strong>. Lincoln Park High School<\/strong> does not have a school boundary requirement.<\/p>\n

EFAC students<\/strong> begin 1h earlier than American students, and must arrive at school by 7:50am. During the day they pass from one class to another depending on their schedules. The pace is intense and family support is paramount. EFAC students also have the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities after school, after 3:45pm.<\/p>\n

\n

Therefore, it is no surprise if, thanks to Ms. Isabelle DAVID’s leadership,\u00a0100{4d24daa5a359aa22e51c71c531e935ff229d31c7c5eb0da4885e362fa152ead6} of her students successfully pass the French Baccalaureate and 87{4d24daa5a359aa22e51c71c531e935ff229d31c7c5eb0da4885e362fa152ead6} of them pass with distinction while collecting multiple awards and medals… Please check their terrific year-round calendar of social events and activities (http:\/\/www.efachicago.org\/community\/events\/) <\/a>bringing together students, teachers and parents of EFAC, Abraham Lincoln School<\/strong> and Lincoln Park High School<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

So it is with great pride that Patrick BOURBON, President of the Union of French and Francophones of Chicago (UFEC), Executive Director of Cultural Affairs MDFDE\/Chicago and Head of Delegation #MDFDE\/Paris-NYC16\/Midwest,<\/strong> <\/strong>and myself welcome Ms. Isabelle DAVID, UFAC, Abraham Lincoln School<\/strong> and Lincoln Park High School<\/strong> aboard our MDFDE. Go Team MDFDE\/USA-Chicago!<\/strong> And Long Live French-American Education in the\u00a0Successful Midwest!<\/p>\n

Yours faithfully,<\/p>\n

Elisabeth Jenssen<\/strong><\/p>\n

Congr\u00e8s MLF Monde \u2013 Le Num\u00e9rique \u00e0 l\u2019Ecole <\/a><\/h2>\n

5\/13\/2015<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

La directrice de l\u2019EFAC \u00e9tait invit\u00e9e au congr\u00e8s mondial de la Mission La\u00efque Fran\u00e7aise qui s\u2019est tenu \u00e0 Dijon du 10 au 13 mai 2015. Le congr\u00e8s portait sur le num\u00e9rique et sur sa place dans l\u2019\u00e9ducation du 21e si\u00e8cle.<\/p>\n

L\u2019insistance a \u00e9t\u00e9 mise sur l\u2019innovation et la cr\u00e9ativit\u00e9 pour une \u00e9ducation ouverte tol\u00e9rante et citoyenne, sachant que le num\u00e9rique est au c\u0153ur de la vie de chaque \u00e9l\u00e8ve. Il convient de rappeler que la Mission La\u00efque Fran\u00e7aise (MLF) a 113 ans, qu\u2019elle regroupe 125 \u00e9tablissements dans le monde et qu\u2019une convention relie le minist\u00e8re de l\u2019\u00c9ducation nationale fran\u00e7ais ainsi que le minist\u00e8re des affaires \u00e9trang\u00e8res \u00e0 la MLF.<\/p>\n

Cette convention \u00e9tablit une coop\u00e9ration \u00e9troite dans le champ de l\u2019enseignement fran\u00e7ais \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9tranger et notamment dans la conduite d\u2019actions sp\u00e9cifiques de coop\u00e9ration. MLF et AEFE sont compl\u00e9mentaires dans le monde.<\/p>\n

Des \u00e9ducateurs et inspecteurs de l\u2019Education nationale mais aussi des sp\u00e9cialistes des nouvelles technologies ainsi que des penseurs sont intervenus lors du congr\u00e8s. Ils ont partag\u00e9 les r\u00e9sultats de leurs r\u00e9flexions et exp\u00e9riences sur le sujet.<\/p>\n

Le num\u00e9rique fut au centre de plusieurs d\u00e9bats\u00a0: humaniste, philosophique, technologique, social et p\u00e9dagogique. Car il s\u2019agit bien de donner aux \u00e9l\u00e8ves d\u2019aujourd\u2019hui et de demain les outils n\u00e9cessaires pour d\u00e9coder le monde et de d\u00e9velopper les comp\u00e9tences qui leur permettront de filtrer le flot d\u2019information du quotidien.<\/p>\n

La production et le partage du savoir changent rapidement\u00a0; l\u2019\u00e9cole en tant que vecteur de l\u2019\u00e9ducation, doit permettre d\u2019engager les \u00e9l\u00e8ves dans la construction de leur savoir en int\u00e9grant les nouvelles possibilit\u00e9s apport\u00e9es, entre autres, par le num\u00e9rique.<\/p>\n

Elle doit aussi et surtout permettre \u00e0 l\u2019enseignant de rester le garant de la validit\u00e9 des sources, en prenant en consid\u00e9ration les nouvelles formes d\u2019\u00e9changes de notre soci\u00e9t\u00e9.<\/p>\n
