Welcome to the 2010-11 school year! I will be working with you in Theory of Knowledge (TOK), a senior requirement for International Baccalaureate Diploma candidates. TOK students should expect to spend at least 5 hours a week in individual study outside the classroom. Our journey through TOK will include the process of research, writing, and revising an Extended Essay, an IB Diploma requirement. Please review the Theory of Knowledge Class Policies and support the school and classroom rules. Students, families, and teachers working together maximize student achievement. Therefore, I encourage you to contact me if you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions as to how we can collaborate to make this year productive and stimulating for students. Please watch for newsletters and marquee announcements for upcoming school events, such as Back-to-School Night and Report Card Night. If you would like to be included on the class e-mail list, please send me an e-mail at [email protected] or click on the button below to visit our Wikispace. I pledge to work toward the success of my Theory of Knowledge students and look forward to working with you throughout the year.
