The SciLMi BITs Syllabi describe the three SciLMi Blended Intensive Trainings (BITs) for in-service secondary school teachers on the basis of the evaluation of and experience with the three pilots:

\n\n

The three syllabi are complementary: the BITs share the same course format, core modules, and assignments, and each sets its individual emphasis within the SciLMi Model of Meta-Scientific Literacies in its focus module. The syllabi are therefore presented together: the shared elements are described once and the focus modules separately, so that course providers can see at a glance what the three BITs have in common, where they differ, and how they complement each other.

\n

For each BIT, the syllabi set out the aims, learning outcomes, contents, schedules, and assignments, and they articulate how learning outcomes, assessment, content, and pedagogical practice are aligned.

\n

Each module consists of self-contained activities, which can be combined flexibly, for example in shorter courses. For each module, the syllabi show which learning outcomes its activities foster.

The name BIT was deliberately chosen to mirror the Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) and to signal that the multi-phase logic Erasmus+ already funds in initial teacher education is being brought into continuing professional development, where one-off courses remain the norm. In hindsight, however, the SciLMi team would advise against the name: BIT and BIP sound so similar that they are easily confused.

\n

On the basis of the BIT format, SciLMi Implications for the Future of Erasmus+ KA1 Blended Pre- and In-Service Teacher Mobilities (D 7.3) recommends to the European Commission a new blended Key Action 1 format for continuing professional development, to be called PRO (professional development). It proposes that courses developed and piloted in Erasmus+ Teacher Academies be validated and continued under Key Action 1 as PROs, following the model piloted in SciLMi.
