Abstract: Driven by the trend of practical reflection and the promotion of basic education reform and the master's degree in teacher education, France has established a new type of teacher education institution - the Higher Teacher Education Institute. The pre service teacher training model of this institution is manifested in optimizing the teacher qualification examination system, establishing a framework for teacher professional competence standards, and setting up a MEEF master's training program with a“sandwich”training concept. This article conducts research on the practical experience of French teacher education reform, and draws inspiration from three dimensions: admission threshold, ability standards, and training content. It is hoped that this will promote the reform of teacher education in China and improve the comprehensive quality of teachers.
