This page provides updated versions of Kieran Egan's Imaginative Education planning frameworks. Planning frameworks for Mythic Understanding (most suitable for students in primary/elementary school), Romantic Understanding (most suitable for students in middle/secondary school), and Philosophic Understanding (most suitable for students in senior secondary school and college) are available in two forms: first, a "guide" which provides more detailed instruction on how one might engage students' imaginations in learning, and second, an "outline" that includes planning questions only. Both "read only" and "writable" versions are provided. The circular frameworks designed by Tannis Calder offer an alternative approach to planning and can be particularly useful for brainstorming and initial access to topics.
