A Brief Introduction by Gary Hentz https://padlet.com/garyhentz/l4q0hvtcaeyazng7 In an attempt to begin to get to know everyone, please post the following if you're willing. 1) A photo of yourself and/or family 2) Brief Introduction of where you are currently and teaching experience 3) New to IB? New to TOK? Teaching TOK now? Comfort level with IB/ TOK (Terrified, minimal, medium, advanced, expert?) I am expecting us to be quite varied so now worries if some have way more experience than others. en-us 2024-09-23 01:59:39 UTC 2024-10-03 23:07:02 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f4ac.png garyhentz https://padlet.com/garyhentz/l4q0hvtcaeyazng7/wish/3132205769 Hi everyone, 

My name is Gary Hentz and I am currently teaching Global Politics and I&S 5 at Chadwick International School in Incheon, South Korea. I have worked at six different I.B. schools and have experienced the different challenges that come with teaching TOK and I.B. within different contexts. I have taught TOK on and off for eight years and have been a TOK workshop leader for six years. I have also done unit plan reading, site visits, and currently publishing Global Politics content for the I.B. Exchange. 

I have full confidence that you will come away with a good understanding and confidence of how TOK is foundational to deeper understanding within the Diploma Programme.

I'm Precious, from the Philippines. I've taught IB Visual Arts for two years before shifting to ToK (6 years of teaching experience in total at Southville International School and Colleges). My knowledge on the subject would be minimal, but I am really looking forward to gaining clarity on its full nature and learning how I can make it an enjoyable experience for my students. I look forward to meeting everyone and gaining a new network that I can learn from in the years to come 💛

I'm Florian, originally from Germany, and I’ve recently started teaching TOK and History in the IB program at the International German School in Ho Chi Minh City. While I'm new to TOK and have a basic understanding of it, I'm looking forward to gaining more confidence through this workshop.

I'm excited about this new experience and the opportunity to connect with all of you!
