Abstract(s)
In Quebec (Canada), a new normative framework and the COVID-19 pandemic have precipitated
the hiring, by the ministry of education, of at least a hundred new resource persons to monitor
home education. According to international writings, these professionals are at the crossroads of
normative, political, and educational conflicts. Our literature review reveals that these resource
persons might solve such conflicts by adopting some of ten typical intervention strategies: mutual
understanding, tolerance of disagreement, search for the child's interest, creativity, competency
development, negligence, abuse of power, protection of their professionality, incontestability, and
distrust. A questionnaire was constructed on the basis of this typology, aimed at supporting the
study of their interactions with families.
