How This System Fits Together

The Erdpuls educational system is documented across multiple files that serve different purposes. This index explains what each document does, who should read it, and how they connect.

Phase 3 Translation Status

All OER guides (01–05) require DE and PL translations before full trilingual OER publication. Recommended Phase 3 sequence:

  1. 04_teachers_guide.md -> DE (highest priority: the primary audience for German OER platforms is teachers)
  2. 01_learning_guide_grades_1-4.md -> DE then PL (most frequently used workshop audience)
  3. 05_citizen_scientist_handbook.md -> DE then PL (large potential audience on German-language OER platforms)
  4. 02_learning_guide_grades_5-8.md -> DE then PL
  5. 03_learning_guide_grades_9-12.md -> DE then PL

Layer 7: Authoring Standards

Added February 2026. These two documents define how all Erdpuls documents are written and how Claude is prompted to assist. Stored in the standards/ folder.

# File Purpose Status
15 Erdpuls Markdown Authoring Standard v1.1 (ERDPULS_MARKDOWN_STANDARD_v1_1.md) Defines formatting conventions for all Erdpuls documents: YAML front matter structure, divider style (* * *), table formatting, colophon language, platform capitalisation, token element notation, and file-naming conventions. Applied retrospectively to all documents in February 2026. Active
16 Erdpuls Claude Prompt v1.1 (ERDPULS_CLAUDE_PROMPT_v1_1.md) System prompt for Claude sessions: project context, document conventions, BNE compliance requirements, authoring priorities, and session startup instructions. Indexed in project knowledge β€” available to Claude in every session without manual upload. Active

Reading Paths

"I have one hour. What should I read?"

-> Pattern Discovery Toolkit, Parts 1–2 (Foundations + Method). This gives you the concentric ring structure, the phenomenological observation method, proxemics as spatial grammar, and the basic workshop flow.

"I need to run a workshop next week."

-> The specific Living Experience Guide for your target group and appendix. Then the corresponding Proxemic Supplement (in the Proxemic Integration document). Then the Universal Checklist in the Implementation Handbook.

"I'm preparing the annual program."

-> Implementation Handbook (full). Then the Pattern Language Assembly Guide (to understand what the year is building toward).

"I want to understand the theoretical framework."

-> Pattern Discovery Toolkit (full, including Part 5: Theoretical Roots). Then the Proxemic Integration (Part One: Revised Theoretical Foundations). Then the BNE-Bewertung for the quality framework alignment.

"I need to write a funding proposal or certification application."

-> BNE-Bewertung und Leitbild (the institutional compliance document). Supplemented by the Pattern Language Assembly Guide (which shows what the program produces) and the Implementation Handbook (which shows how it operates).

"I want to adapt this for my own initiative."

-> Pattern Discovery Toolkit, Part 4 (Adaptation Guide). Then the Appendices D.4 (Adapting to Other Quality Frameworks). Then select the Living Experience Guides most relevant to your target groups, understanding that every place will discover different patterns using the same method.

"I am a classroom teacher preparing to bring my class."

-> 04_teachers_guide.md first (your complete briefing document). Then the relevant student learning guide for your grade band (01, 02, or 03). The Implementation Handbook provides operational detail if needed.

"I want to become a citizen scientist."

-> 05_citizen_scientist_handbook.md. Then attend an Erdpuls Open Makerspace Day to build a senseBox station and start contributing to the openSenseMap network.


The Five Target Groups Across All Documents

Every living experience guide is differentiated for the same five groups. This table shows where each group appears:

Target Group Appendix A Guide Appendix B Guide Appendix C Guide Appendix D Guide
Children/Youth (8–18) Erdreich-Entdecker Das Garten-Wirtschaftsspiel Wo hΓΆrt unser Ort auf? Habe ich etwas Echtes gelernt?
Adults/Families Boden-Begegnung Sehen, was wir schon tauschen Die Karte unter der Karte Was macht es wert, wiederzukommen?
Elders/Intergenerational Boden-GedΓ€chtnis Der Erinnerungsmarkt Die Landschaft erinnert sich Was ist es wert, weitergegeben zu werden?
Artists/Researchers Boden-Tiefe Wert jenseits des Preises Kartografien der ZugehΓΆrigkeit Messen, was zΓ€hlt
Cross-Border DE/PL Boden-BrΓΌcke Eine Wirtschaft, Zwei Sprachen Eine Landschaft, Zwei LΓ€nder QualitΓ€t ohne Grenzen

Note: The OER Layer (Layer 6) differentiates by school grade band rather than by Erdpuls target group. Guide 01 (Grades 1–4) corresponds to the younger range of the Children/Youth group. Guides 02–03 (Grades 5–12) correspond to the older range. The Teachers' Guide and Citizen Scientist Handbook serve audiences not covered by the 20 Living Experience Guides.


The Five OER Competency Clusters

All OER Layer documents are aligned to five competency clusters, which correspond to the Brandenburg BNE Gestaltungskompetenzen:

Cluster BNE Alignment Appears Most Strongly In
Environmental Literacy 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.1.3 All three student guides; Ch. 2 of Citizen Scientist Handbook
Scientific Inquiry 4.1.4, 4.2.1, 4.3.2 Guide 02 (full protocol); Guide 03 (research track); Ch. 2–3 of Handbook
Technology Competence 4.1.2, 4.3.2 Guide 02–03 (senseBox); Ch. 6 of Handbook (station building)
Economic Understanding 4.2.2, 4.2.3, 4.3.1 Guide 02 (four elements); Guide 03 (UBECrc design); Ch. 4 of Handbook
Social-Emotional Learning 4.2.4, 4.3.3, 4.3.4 Guide 01 (Token Seeds, closing circle); Guide 02 (4A-Pathway); Ch. 5 of Handbook
