RECOMMENDED FOR:
Teachers new to the Diploma Programme (DP) at authorized
IB World Schools and teachers from interested or candidate
schools preparing for authorization.
This workshop is designed to prepare you to teach theory of
knowledge (TOK) in a manner that supports the IB mission
statement and philosophy. The workshop will focus on:
• developing an understanding of the IB mission and
philosophy through the DP programme model as a context
for a holistic learning experience
• the Theory of knowledge guide (first teaching September
2013, first examinations 2015), and associated assessment
requirements with practice marking activities of sample
student work
• structuring a TOK course that integrates authentic
assessment and encourages students to make links across
the DP that will enhance their understanding
• the dynamic nature that exists between Creativity, activity,
service (CAS) and TOK when emphasizing the importance
of reflecting and developing self-awareness
• IB programme standards and practices (January 2020)
