Let's Work Together

Collegial Partnership

Are you new to teaching Theory of Knowledge this year?  

Or maybe you’re looking for someone to meet with on a regular basis to get new ideas to work with your students, or designing specific assessments, or maybe just another perspective on your teaching?  If so, I would love to work with you to help expand your craft of teaching.  

 

This one-on-one program can be set up to meet your individual needs and time constraints.  The idea is that we partner up around your needs as a teacher of Theory of Knowledge.  We would meet one-on-one eight different times throughout the semester via Zoom to collaborate with one another.

 

 To get started, all you need to do is schedule a free meeting initial meeting. 


I'm looking forward to hearing from you!



Teacher Mentoring Program

Eight Individual Sessions

Possible Areas of Collaboration

  • Theory of Knowledge Curriculum - Overview and analysis of the TOK curriculum. We can look at your school context of teaching this two-year course: focusing on the structure, progression, and how to build the essential skills required for TOK.

  • Assessments - We can thoroughly examine the two official IB assessments in TOK: The Exhibition and the Essay. It is important to not only understand the tasks, but also how to effectively prepare our students.

  • Approaches to Teaching & Learning - We can discuss lesson planning strategies, how to craft exercises, activities and assessments that foster the analytical and evaluative skills.

  • Sharing - Have a space to share ideas, thoughts, challenges, and successes! You are not alone. Collaboration is an key component of teaching and learning.
