As I look back on this brief period of time that we have studied thus far, I'm glad to say that I have been able to bring back something that I have learned from my studies straight to my classroom. I in fact started my TOK course by having the students do their own learning related Pecha Kuchas. Those turned out to be great and also very popular among the students themselves. They noticed that this in fact is a great way to learn of one another.

I also had them start a reflective journal in which they posted some reflections from each lesson. Now that the second period is over, I got to read the journals which were really great and allowed me to see how they viewed the course.



The image below pictures the IB Learner Profile. This is what the IB philosophy would like to see in the students. I had my students ponder on their own learner profile based on this image and they seemed to have seen themselves in many of the descriptors here as they had reflected on that in their journals. 'Risk-takers' was a popular one.
