TOK in Today’s World is a new way to structure TOK, with the monthly-updated mini-lessons driving the units, paired with either the Big Questions or Classic TOK.
Because the mini-lessons are updated so frequently, this is the most dynamic way to deliver TOK, offering you lessons that are driven by the very latest events and issues, and which clearly demonstrate how TOK manifests in the world today!
About this approach
We publish 20 new mini-lessons every month, which we create from the latest events and issues going on in the world, reported on by a diverse range of media sources, such as articles, videos, and podcasts. We categorize them into the 5 Big Questions, and link them to the different areas of knowledge and themes.
This means that you can use them to deliver a TOK course based on either the BQ or Classic approach. At the beginning of each unit, offer students an introduction to what you’ll be covering, and then simply select the mini-lessons that you find most engaging, remembering that we’ll be adding to them each month. Note that access is for members only.
