Curriculum Aims and Approach

Our curriculum aim was to embed the BRiTE modules within non-compulsory professional experience learning programs that are conducted to offer face-to- face professional learning for preservice teachers in contexts beyond CDU Darwin.

We mapped the topics of each Brite Module against the appropriate professional learning focus areas. For example, we mapped the topic of ‘Managing emotions’, from the BRiTE Emotions module, to the professional learning focus area of ‘Behaviour Management’.
