The AEFE is a branch of the French Foreign Affairs Ministry that coordinates French schools abroad. The pedagogical inspectors employed by the AEFE have two levels of input : they supervise the teaching of their field of study within the global network of French schools, and they coordinate teacher training in French schools abroad within specific geographical zones. As such, Isabelle Polizzi is responsible for teacher training in the North America and Canada geographical area, and the teaching of French language, literature and philosophy.
