Education works better when parents are involved. They can encourage their children, help clarify concepts, and draw on their own experiences to highlight the relevance of learning in real-world contexts.
TOK offers the best entry point for parents of any of the DP courses, and whether your course is structured via the BQs, or the Classic units, we’ll help you get discussions going around the dinner table!
The TOK for Parents padlet – free sample
The Classic TOK lessons and support material enable you to deliver the course in a traditional way, directly via the core and optional themes, and the areas of knowledge, all conveniently presented on padlets.
The classroom-ready lessons have been fully updated for 2025-26, with a new design, learning activities, real-world examples, and extensive suggestions for AI-tasks. Access is for faculty members of the site only.
