Our classic TOK lessons comprise an extensive range of classroom-ready presentations that enable you to deliver the course directly via the core and optional themes, and the areas of knowledge.
We are in the process of updating all the lessons for the 24-25 academic year (planned completion date – July 2024), adding new real-world situations, and more activities inviting students to think about the relationship between AI tools and knowledge.

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.
