The mini-lessons invite students to apply TOK concepts to recent real-world situations, help them to curate examples for the assessment tasks, and support the development of authentic critical thinking across the whole Diploma Programme.
The mini-lessons are updated every month, so they augment the BQ and Classic full-length lessons brilliantly, enabling you to bring the very latest events and issues into your classroom, and go way beyond the headlines.

This makes them accessible and relevant for all teachers, whatever their subject or programme. Read more here.
