The programme is structured around two major innovations:

• All the systems are based on a common foundation evidence-based teaching, based on cognitive sciences to develop digital tools for learning that really improve pupils' and students' understanding and retention of knowledge.
• A systemic approach is implemented within the partner structures that employ teachers: in addition to the training modules, a systemic approach is implemented within the partner structures that employ teachers. innovative educational training, a complete ecosystem of’pedagogical support is deployed.
