Participants are required to attend all sessions of the training: the virtual kick-off, the on-site week, and the virtual follow-up.
\nParticipants confirm their availability, together with provisional approval from their school leaders, when they apply. Absences must be communicated to the trainer team as early as possible. Only participants who have completed all phases receive the credential (blank\" rel=\"noopener\">→ Assignments & Assessment) and, where the course provider covers travel costs, the reimbursement (blank\" rel=\"noopener\">→ Organisation & Funding).
\nThe BIT is very learner-centred and highly interactive. Participants are expected to engage actively in discussions, group work, feedback loops, and presentations, to implement their lesson plan in their own classroom, and to share experiences afterwards.
\nThe trainer team creates a respectful, inclusive, and participatory learning environment. Trainers encourage open dialogue, ensure that all participants have equal access to resources and opportunities to contribute, and model constructive feedback and academic integrity.
\nParticipants contribute to a respectful and effective learning environment. They engage thoughtfully in discussions, including on controversial socio-scientific issues, respect the diverse backgrounds and perspectives of their peers, and respect the privacy and confidentiality of others. They cite all sources appropriately, also when using materials found online or generated with AI.
\nParticipants do not share other participants' personal data, photos, or contributions outside the course without their consent. When they share experiences from their classroom implementation, they do not disclose students' personal data and follow their school's rules on photos and student work. They respect the copyright of the materials they use and upload third-party content, such as images or textbook excerpts, to the course platform only if they are allowed to share it.
\nPersonal data are processed in accordance with the course provider's privacy policy. Participants' contact details are shared with the other participants only with their consent. Photos taken during the course and materials that participants create on the course platform, such as group pages and HOW activities, are published only with their consent. Published materials are made available in the SciLMi Wiki under a CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 licence.
