TOK is a hard course to deliver, and the traditional way of approaching it – structuring a scheme of work around the different ways of knowing and areas of knowledge – often fails to achieve its seemingly impossible and contradictory range of demands. Resources for TOK hardly help the matter, given that even the best textbooks are out of date as soon as they are published. Challenges in designing and delivering an effective course include:

1. Delivering RLS-driven lessons that also help students understand the nature of knowledge

2. Giving students a comprehensive understanding of AOKs and WOKs, and preparing them for the abstract PTs

3. Honing essay-writing skills, but also managing to keep the course engaging and fresh

4. Setting up a course that’s interesting for students, but also coherently structured

5. Creating a fully functioning TOK department that is also integrated with the rest of the DP

6. Getting staff at your school on board, and realising the importance of TOK

It took us a while (about 5 years!), but we think we have solutions to all of these challenges. By combining the content of our TOK newsletters with a new 'framework' based around 8 Big Questions (8BQ), and utilizing beautifully-designed Google Slides and Docs, we have created a completely new approach to TOK that isn't just designed to revolutionize your teaching of TOK, it's designed to revolutionize the TOK course itself.

Access to this new approach is via four different membership options, which you can find out about by following this link. We're offering members of this group a 10% discount on any of the membership options. Use the coupon code 'XS9EDI8EGC' as you're checking out, and this will be applied to your first year's membership. The deal will apply until the end of August.
