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

Access the mini-lessons either via the themes and AOKs below, or via the DP Integration Tool. If you teach a different educational programme (such as A-Levels) use our adapted versions of the mini-lessons here.

Workshops to help you escape your echo chamber!
Our online and in-person workshops are practical, honest, and jargon-free. They cover TOK essays, exhibitions, and course design, but their deeper aim is to help all learners to become authentic critical thinkers.
