While ROTTOC is a powerful and structured prompt framework, there are several other widely used and teacher-friendly prompt engineering frameworks that can help educators and students craft more effective prompts when using AI tools like ChatGPT.

Here’s a list of popular and practical prompt frameworks used by AI educators, edtech leaders, and productivity experts:

🧱 1. PASTOR

*(by Dan Fitzpatrick, author of

The AI Classroom)

A popular AI prompt framework in education.

P – Persona: Who should the AI act as?

A – Audience: Who is it for?

S – Style: What’s the tone or language style?

T – Task: What do you want it to do?

O – Output: What format or structure do you want?

R – Restrictions: Constraints (length, level, timeframe, keywords)

🔹 Example:

Act as a KS2 science teacher (Persona). Your audience is a group of 9-year-olds. Use playful and age-appropriate language (Style). Create a lesson plan on magnets (Task). Format it as a three-part activity with a recap (Output). Keep it under 60 minutes and use simple vocabulary (Restrictions).

🧠 2. RAIL

(used by MIT educators in AI literacy)

R – Role: Who should the AI emulate?

A – Action: What should it do?

I – Input: What is it working with?

L – Limitations: Boundaries, tone, style, or other parameters

🔹 Example:

Act as a curriculum designer (R). Create a list of differentiated tasks for a Year 7 class on sustainability (A), based on this topic outline: [paste here] (I). Use concise descriptions and include one EAL-friendly version (L).

✍️ 3. FORMAT

(used by prompt designers for precision tasks)

F – Format: What should the output look like?

O – Objective: What’s the purpose?

R – Role: Who is the AI acting as?

M – Method: How should it get there (steps, style)?

A – Audience: Who’s receiving this?

T – Tone: Tone, language, or level

🔹 Example:

Write a visual checklist (Format) to support student self-reflection (Objective). Act as a middle school wellbeing coach (Role). Build it through 3 steps with student-friendly icons (Method). It’s for Year 8 students (Audience), so keep the tone warm and encouraging (Tone).

⚙️ 4. IDEA

(Simple for beginners – used in AI integration workshops)

I – Instruction: What you want it to do

D – Details: Context, background, level

E – Examples: Any models or previous work

A – Adjustments: Tone, length, focus

🔹 Example:

Write a 100-word summary of the water cycle (I). For Year 5 students who just learned this topic (D). Make it similar to this textbook paragraph (E). Use short sentences and add one question at the end (A).

🔁 5. ICE-R

(for iterative prompting & refining)

I – Intent: What’s your goal?

C – Context: What does the AI need to know?

E – Examples: Show what you want

R – Refine: Ask for improvements or next version

🔹 Example:

I want to generate a student-friendly rubric (I). The students are Year 6 working on group presentations (C). Here’s a model rubric I like (E). Now improve this by making it more visual and adding student-friendly questions (R).
