The TOK mini-lessons can be used equally effectively by TOK and non-TOK teachers to develop authentic critical thinking, integrate the curriculum, and link learning to the real-world.
Each lesson invites students to offer their ideas about the world, test them via media sources and peer discussion, and confront – rather than confirm – their biases and assumptions about the world.

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.
