After the presentation of the iMermaid Schooling Workbook to teachers, it was noted that further introduction, context and clarification on the topic of chemical pollution was required for the successful implementation of the mission in the classrooms. Hence, the EJWP team developed a teachers’ handbook to provide guidelines to educators with clear, practical, and accessible support.

The team was allocated 2-4 missions each where they prepared detailed explanation of the mission’s objectives, introduction to the environmental problems in order to provide the appropriate context, the scientific or social concepts behind it, and its relevance to broader educational goals. Step-by-step instructions, examples of execution, and, in some cases, suggestions for adapting the activities to different ages, class sizes, or available resources were also provided where appropriate.

In addition, the guidelines provide recommendations, sample results or expected outcomes, and discussion prompts to encourage reflection among students. By combining theoretical understanding with concrete examples and ready-to-use classroom materials, these guidelines are intended to make the missions more engaging, easier to manage, and more impactful for both teachers and students.

The final outcome is a comprehensive guide which can be used by teachers and educators to implement all the mission described in the iMermaid Schooling workbook with the table of content and examples of Missions 2 and 14.
