Dear ToK Community,
When I first heard Gregg talk about ToK (Tree of Knowledge System), I was quite convinced he was talking about the IB version of Theory of Knowledge, a discipline that if I ever went back to teach again would be my top pick. It took me some time
to adjust to a slightly different ToK paradigm (though still very much congruent with IB TOK).
I am writing because two prior colleagues and close friends of mine have written a seminal work on the TOK IB Textbook 2020 for Education, published by Oxford University Press. I highly recommend the two links to get more familiar- you will find
lots of overlaps with the concepts we discuss on this platform.
This is geared towards 11th and 12th graders at rigorous IB programs. These concepts are helping students make sense and meaning of these complex times with a broadened capacity to understand the role of language, power, systems, development,
ecology, politics, etc. on our current worldview and resulting choices of actions, cognition, relation, and investment.
with care,
Kacey
