ABSTRACT
The paper aims to describe the experimental project of the adjustment pathway to school
that was developed at the Primary Education Degree of the University of Molise. The
project started from the model of the Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
typical of the Anglo-Saxon professional culture that does not find a specific application

prof. Stefano Bonometti. The project aims to develop the students’ culture of lifelong

project after a period of stop is starting again in this year.
KEY WORDS: Continuing Professional Development, teacher training, learning
