This syllabus describes a blended course for in-service secondary school teachers on the basis of the evaluation of and experience with the three SciLMi Blended Intensive Training (BIT) pilots. On the basis of the BIT format, D 7.3 SciLMi Implications for the Future of Erasmus+ KA1 Blended Pre- and In-Service Teacher Mobilities 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.

Rather than presenting three largely repetitive BIT syllabi, this syllabus opts for a clearer presentation: as the three BITs share the same course format, core modules, and assignments, it describes one model course in three variants:

\n\n

The variants differ in their focus modules, which set a specific emphasis within the SciLMi Model of Meta-Scientific Literacies. The syllabus therefore presents the shared elements once and describes the focus modules separately, so that course providers can see at a glance what all variants have in common and where they differ (→ How the Variants Complement Each Other).

\n

For all variants, the syllabus sets out the aims, learning outcomes, contents, schedule, and assignments, and it articulates how learning outcomes, assessment, content, and pedagogical practice are aligned. Wherever a criterion goes beyond the BIT as piloted, it is marked PRO (→ Validation & Implementation Criteria).

\n

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. PRO (professional development) is suggested as a suitable alternative.
