How to use

  • Explore the i5 Framework: Familiarize yourself with the five core characteristics of impactful learning: making learning meaningful, fostering joy, promoting social interaction, encouraging active engagement, and designing for iteration.

  • Apply the Playbook’s concrete strategies or “signature moves” .

  • Draw Inspiration from Case Studies: Review real-world examples of how other educators have implemented i5 methods.

  • Integrate into Curriculum: Align i5 methods with course objectives and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to create meaningful, student-centered learning experiences.

  • Iterate and Reflect: Adapt and refine your teaching practices based on student feedback and learning outcomes.

  • Connect and Collaborate: Engage with the PRME community through workshops, events, and discussion forums to share experiences and learn from other educators implementing the i5 approach.

Teaching format tip

Book

Support sustained engagement with complex ideas through structured reflection and discussion. Students should develop deep understanding while connecting themes to personal and professional contexts. Use books to encourage contemplative learning and long-term intellectual development.

Lesson/Teaching Plans

Engage students as co-facilitators and content contributors rather than passive recipients. Students should prepare discussion questions and share relevant experiences that enrich planned activities. Build flexibility for organic learning moments that emerge from student interests. Use plans as frameworks for shared inquiry rather than rigid scripts.

Workbook

Guide systematic progression through structured learning materials. Students should work independently while connecting exercises to broader conceptual frameworks. Use workbooks to reinforce learning and provide individualized practice opportunities with consistent feedback mechanisms.
