Teaching health concepts using the Principles of Engagement and the Fiteracy Framework
The 4 principles of Engagement
The Principles of Engagement were developed by Brodie's father Associate Professor Brian Cambourne
Cambourne's Conditions of Learning and the Principles of Engagement have been used for over 50 years internationally and nationally as an education framework to assist people of all ages and cultures learn to read and write and develop language skills.
Brodie's father's research was developed through observation of how children learn to speak a language and the conditions and environment that parents and carers naturally create around children to help them become confident learners of language and speech.
In 2001 Brodie completed my Masters (Hons) thesis applying the Principles of Engagement and Cambourne's Conditions of Learning to encouraging children and families to lead physically active lives
From 2001 to 2011 Brodie then applied these theories to nationally funded programs throughout South East Queensland , Australia. Brodie created the Fiteracy Program for 0 to 5 year olds and their families and assisted children to learn how to read whilst also learning how to love physical activity.
The Brainfit programs are the first adult health program to apply these Conditions of Learning and principles of engagement to the health sector
