Theory of Knowledge New Teacher WorkshopJuly 23rd & 24th, 2026Hey Everyone, I hope this email finds you well and that this part of the school year feels steady and manageable. As we begin looking ahead to next year, I am really excited to let you know that this July, Sofia Elizalde and I will be hosting our first ever Theory of Knowledge New Teacher Workshop on July 23rd and 24th via Zoom. This two day training is designed specifically for teachers who are new to teaching Theory of Knowledge next year, even if they have many years of classroom experience. As we know, Theory of Knowledge can feel abstract at first. It is not just another subject. It sits at the heart of the IB Diploma Programme, and yet many of us are asked to teach it with very little practical guidance. The key is learning how to bridge the gap between what the IB expects and what that actually looks like on a Tuesday morning in your classroom. Over the course of two days, we will walk through the structure and purpose of the IB Diploma Programme and the IB Core, unpack what Theory of Knowledge really is and why it matters, break down the TOK Exhibition and the TOK Essay with clear assessment expectations, and provide a practical roadmap for pacing and planning your first semester. The goal is simple. We want you to begin the year feeling clear, supported, and calm. Additional Bonuses - In addition to 8 hours of live instruction and personal interaction with other TOK teachers from around the world, you will also receive the following additional bonuses as part of your enrollment:

Sofia brings over a decade of experience as an IB educator, IB examiner, and currently is a Theory of Knowledge teacher here in Bulgaria.
