Abstract
In this MJE Forum, the author invites conversation on what it means to be a teacher in Quebec’s unique Cegep system. Cegep, positioned between the more structured secondary program and the more autonomous university experience, requires that its teachers grapple with what it means to be a Cegep teacher. Her own piece focuses on exploring her development as a teacher and how teacher identity is shaped by personal and professional relationships. Beyond professional development in workshops and continuing education, Cegep teachers engage in discussions, debates, and collaborations with our peers; ultimately, this community of practice is an essential element in the development of our teaching practice and our identity.
Keywords:
- cegep,

Résumé
Dans ce forum RSEM, l’auteur incite une conversation sur ce que signifient être enseignant dans le système des Cégeps au Québec. Les Cégeps, situés entre le programme secondaire plus structuré et l’expérience universitaire plus autonome, exigent de leurs enseignants qu’ils confrontent les implications d’être un enseignant au Cégep. Sa contribution se concentre sur l’exploration de son parcours d’enseignant personnel et sur la façon dont l’identité d’enseignant est façonnée par les relations personnelles et professionnelles. Au-delà du développement professionnel lors d’ateliers et de formations continues, les enseignants au Cégep s’engagent dans des discussions, des débats et des collaborations avec leurs pairs; finalement, cette communauté de pratique est un élément essentiel dans le développement de notre pratique pédagogique et de notre identité.
