Welcome to our TOK resources section. Members will find a huge range of innovative teaching and learning resources designed to help everyone in your faculty make the most of this wonderful course, and give students a life-changing experience.
If you’re looking for resources that will help your non-IB students, check out our Authentic Critical Thinking (ACT) section. These include resources for pre-DP students, and students following an alternative programme, such as A-Levels or AP.

The ACT/TOK teaching and learning pathway
Authentic critical thinking (ACT) is the central learning objective of everything we design. ACT means developing the skills to challenge your own biases and assumptions, rather than confirming what you already believe. We believe it’s the most important skill TOK develops.
Placing ACT at the heart of what we do creates a flexible learning pathway represented below. Our resources move from middle years through to the TOK course and senior ACT materials, and can be plugged into any educational programme or timetable.
Help your learners to exit their echo chambers!
Our online and in-person workshops offer the usual support for students writing the essay and exhibition, and TOK departments designing great courses.
But our training sessions go much further than this: by focusing on authentic critical thinking, they demonstrate how to help learners confront, rather than confirm, their biases and assumptions, and exit their echo chambers. This makes them accessible and relevant for all teachers, whatever their subject or programme. Read more here.
