My TOK Experience
I've been teaching, examining, training teachers in and writing about Theory of Knowledge for over 20 years. The course is hard to teach and my goal is to help as many teachers as possible build their own confidence and skill in delivering this life-changing element of IB. Here is what my experience looks like on paper.
