I've just read an excellent blog post today on Caring in Education which I found following a tweet I was so excited, as I finally managed to meet Vicky in person yesterday afternoon after following her on Twitter for a while. We are both teachers, we both arrived in Switzerland at the same time last year and by a strange coincidence both ended up living in the same place, and while we have had different experiences we have a lot of common ground too.

Do you demonstrate this to your son and assist him in becoming a better communicator

8. Knoweledgeable I am learning about myself and

enjoy asking questions to learn
about the world
"We develop and use conceptual understanding, exploring knowledge across a range of disciplines. We engage with issues and ideas that have local and global signicance."
TOK students strive to be knowledgeable about the nature of knowledge. This means becoming knowledgeable about the methods of inquiry of a variety of subject areas, from a number of perspectives. Students are encouraged to explore the processes by which individuals arrive at their own knowledge and understanding of the world and the presuppositions that underpin this understanding.

9. Open-Minded
TOK students need to be open-minded about knowledge claims they encounter. They will learn not to simply accept claims at face value, but to consider the factual accuracy of any proposition and the potential emotional, social or cognitive bias of any person making a proposition. At the same time, they must learn to balance skepticism with belief, and recognize that in many situations there is a need to make decisions without possessing absolute certainty.
I listen to other people’s thoughts
and ideas. I like to try new things.

10. Balanced
TOK students are committed to viewing knowledge claims from different perspectives. They are also required to consider a range of areas of knowledge. TOK requires a balance of ability in speaking and writing, and a balance of ability in drawing general conclusions from specific examples and in drawing on specific examples to demonstrate general claims.
I have many interests. I use my time
wisely. I am learning to take good
care of my body and my brain.
