The article examines the norms that guide the work of teachers from the point of view of the intermediary actors responsible for implementing curriculum requirements (teaching content, methodology and assessment). It draws on a study which explored the role of educational advisors (Quebec) and regional educational inspectors (France) in contextualising curriculum policies. The comparison between the two professional groups reveals significant variations in the processes put in place and the knowledge they draw on to interpret these norms and the discursive strategies used to translate these norms into practices on the ground.
