Teaching Schedule for the ToK Essay

This is an overview schedule of foci and activities for teaching the ToK Essay, showing the monthly timing for both May and November Exam Sessions.

A few items of note:

  • The schedule sets aside 5 months for the completion of the essay. I know that some teachers may dedicta eless time to the essay, but as a critical pass/fail component of the Diploma I dedicate substantial time to the essay.

  • Students spend most of the time unpacking & exploring the prescribed titles. This is essential ToK learning, counting towards the 100 hours of time scheduled for ToK.

  • The Draft Deadline is the effective end point of the process. If undertaken carefully there should be very little for students to do after the Draft submission.
