Genuine, meaningful, convenient DP integration

Our DP integration tool enables all DP teachers to draw easily on TOK, both enriching their own lessons, and helping you to create a fully-interlinked DP in your school. Here’s the DPIT for history; find out about the other subjects here.

The 12 Key Concepts

The 12 Key Concepts resource comprises regularly updated documents for each one of the TOK concepts, offering quotes, questions, and the very latest media sources. Download the document for ‘Evidence’ here. All 12 concepts are presented in this way, and updated every month.

Exhibition Prompt Decoder

Our TOK exhibition prompt decoder helps you to understand each of the 35 IA prompts, link them to the core and optional themes, the key concepts and the Big Questions, and explore them via quotes, questions, TED talks, and media sources. Find out more here.

TOK for parents

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. Find out more about this resource here.

Knowledge lexicon

The knowledge lexicon lists 1000 terms and concepts related to the way we produce, evaluate, and use knowledge. Each term is related to a TOK context, and we’ve provided a link to a media source in which the term is discussed. Find out more here.
