RECOMMENDED FOR:
Teachers (from authorized IB World Schools, interested or
candidate schools preparing for authorization) who are new
to TOK or who have not yet prepared students for a TOK
assessment session.
The workshop is designed to prepare educators to teach
theory of knowledge (TOK) in a manner that supports the IB
philosophy. The IB philosophy is encapsulated in the IB mission
statement and aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable,
caring and internationally-minded young people wherein TOK
plays a central role. In addition, the workshop focuses on:
• unpacking the Theory of knowledge guide and associated
course requirements
• structuring a TOK course that integrates authentic
assessment and encourages students to make links across
the DP that will enhance their understanding
• exploring the dynamic nature that exists between other DP
core elements and TOK when emphasizing the importance
of reflecting and developing self-awareness
• discussing how to design a TOK course outline that meets
the needs and interests of their students
