Paper on teaching
I am confused about this phrase. The paragraph has started by discussing the idea of "building competencies" and how best to go about this. The context reads:
"Mon entrée possible et assumée est de convoquer le champ de la psychologie des apprentissages scolaires qui se positionne par définition au carrefour d’approches plurielles ..."
Am I correct to say that the reader/lecturer is talking about his "possible suggestion and assumption..."? (I am also a bit confused about the masculine article used for "entrée" .

My preferred approach
Entrée is preceded by mon because it begins with a vowel, but it remains feminine.
Assumée is used as in "j'assume", that is, I "own" it and believe in it, although this approach may be open to criticism.

Sorry, not "approach" but "way in, way to look at the question".

a possible starting point, and my chosen one, (is to....)
Ihave been humming and ha-ing about this for several hours as I do not really understand the first suggested answer. so this is my stab at it. the "entrée" is his/her "entrée en matière" - his/her starting point . I am supposing this is part of the introduction to the study.
It is one of several starting points one supposes, because of the 'possible', but 'assumer' is , as Hélène T says, to take on board, to take responsibility for
