Presentation transcript:

 Exploring and extending ideas leading to an original or interpretive product or performance

 Physical exertion contributing to a healthy lifestyle

 Collaborative and reciprocal engagement with the community in response to an authentic need

 It is essential that CAS experiences are an extension to subject work. To attempt to count the same work for both a subject or extended essay and CAS would constitute malpractice.  It is required that students, rather than teachers, initiate the service experience. This is in accordance with the greater expectations of autonomy and maturity in Diploma Programme students.

 The CAS programme aims to develop students who: ◦ Enjoy and find significance in a range of CAS experiences ◦ Purposefully reflect upon their experiences ◦ Identify goals, develop strategies and determine further actions for personal growth ◦ Explore new possibilities, embrace new challenges and adapt to new roles ◦ Actively participate in planned, sustained, and collaborative CAS projects ◦ Understand they are members of local and global communities with responsibilities towards each other and the environment

 Investigation: ◦ Students identify their interests, skills and talents to be used in considering opportunities for CAS experiences as well as areas for personal growth and development. Students investigate what they want to do and determine the purpose for their CAS experience. In the case of service, students identify a need they want to address.

 Preparation: ◦ Students clarify roles and responsibilities, develop a plan of actions to be taken, identify specified resources and timelines, and acquire any skills as needed to engage in the CAS experience.  Action: ◦ Students implement their idea or plan. This often requires decision-making and problem-solving. Students may work individually, with partners, or in groups.

 Reflection: ◦ Students describe what happened, express feelings, generate ideas, and raise questions. Reflection can occur at any time during CAS to further understanding, to assist with revising plans, to learn from the experience, and to make explicit connections between their growth, accomplishments, and the learning outcomes for personal awareness. Reflection may lead to new action.

 Demonstration: ◦ Students make explicit what and how they learned and what they have accomplished, for example, by sharing their CAS experience through their CAS portfolio or with others in an informal or formal manner. Through demonstration and communication, students solidify their understanding and evoke response from others.

 As a result of their CAS experience as a whole, including their reflections, there MUST be evidence that students can:  1. Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth ◦ Students are able to see themselves as individuals with various abilities and skills, of which some are more developed than others

 2. Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process ◦ A new challenge may be an unfamiliar experience or an extension of an existing one. The newly acquired or developed skills may be shown through experiences that the student has not previously undertaken or through increased expertise in an established area.

 3. Demonstrate how to initiate and plan a CAS experience ◦ Students can articulate the stages from conceiving an idea to executing a plan for a CAS experience or series of CAS experiences. This may be accomplished in collaboration with other participants. Students may show their knowledge and awareness by building on a previous experience or by launching a new idea or process.

 4. Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences ◦ Students demonstrate regular involvement and active engagement in CAS  5. Demonstrate the skills and recognize the benefits of working collaboratively ◦ Students are able to identify, demonstrate and critically discuss the benefits and challenges of collaboration gained through CAS experiences.

 6. Demonstrate engagement with issues of global significance ◦ Students are able to identify and demonstrate their understanding of global issues, make responsible decisions, and take appropriate action in response to the issue either locally, nationally, or internationally.  7. Recognize and consider the ethics of choices and actions ◦ Students show awareness of the consequences of choices and actions in planning and carrying out CAS experiences.

 Evidence of all Learner Outcomes must be present in order to successfully complete the CAS portion of the IB Programme.

 Approach CAS with a proactive attitude  Develop a clear understanding of CAS expectations and the purpose of CAS  Explore personal values, attitudes and attributes with reference to the IB learner profile and the IB mission statement  Determine personal goals  Discuss plans for CAS experiences with the CAS coordinator and/or CAS adviser  Understand and apply the CAS stages where appropriate

 Take part in a variety of experiences, some of which are self-initiated, and at least one CAS project  Become more aware of personal interests, skills and talents and observe how these evolve throughout the CAS programme  Maintain a CAS portfolio and keep records of CAS experiences including evidence of achievement of the seven CAS learning outcomes, reflections, etc.

 Understand the reflection process and identify suitable opportunities to reflect on CAS experiences  Demonstrate accomplishments within their CAS programme  Communicate with the CAS coordinator/adviser and/or CAS supervisor in formal and informal meetings  Ensure a suitable balance between Creativity, Activity, and Service  Behave appropriately and ethically in their choices and behaviors

 Specific events in which the student engages with one or more of the three CAS strands  A CAS experience can be a single event or may be an extended series of events  A CAS project is a collaborative series of sequential CAS experiences lasting at least one month

 A CAS Experience must: ◦ Fit within one or more of the CAS strands ◦ Be based on a personal interest, skill, talent or opportunity for growth ◦ Provide opportunities to develop the attributes of the IB learner profile ◦ Not be used or included in the student’s Diploma course requirements
