The three strands of CAS

Creativity Action Service

SLIDE 20

Creativity

This aspect of CAS is interpreted as imaginatively as possible to cover a wide range of arts and other activities outside the normal curriculum which include creative thinking in the design and carrying

ut of service projects.

SLIDE 21

Action

This aspect of CAS can include participation in expeditions, individual and team sports, and physical activities outside the normal curriculum; it also includes physical activity involved in carrying

ut creative and service projects.

SLIDE 22

SERVICE

Service involves interaction, such as the building of links with individuals or groups in the community. The “community” may be within the school, the local district, or it may exist on national and international levels (such as undertaking projects of assistance in a developing country).

SLIDE 23

CAS Goals:

Plan

Identify goals. Describe how.

Act

Real Tasks. Concrete Experience

Observe

Think about feelings and

interactions. Analyze

perceptions.

Reflect Identify

achievements and

utstanding issues,

personal strengths, and

challenges. Evaluate
actions. Synthesize new

understandings.

Apply learning in new situations.

SLIDE 24

Recording and reporting

 ManageBac - an IB management system

All CAS information must be recorded in ManageBac https://dwyer.managebac.com/login

 Begin planning summer before 11th grade  Projects begin 11th grade and end Spring Break of Senior year.  Must track hours (150) and reflect (not summarize) on their

experiences.

SLIDE 25

Vocabulary/IB Speak

 IB DP-International Baccalaureate Diploma Program  HL-Higher Level Exams, two year class, tested out senior year  SL-Standard Level Exam, one or two year class, tested out

junior/senior year.

 EE-Extended Essay, core requirement, 4,000 word research paper  CAS-Creativity, Action, Service Learning – core requirement  TOK-Theory of Knowledge, core requirement  External Assessment (EA)-IB scored/teachers submit predicted scores  Internal Assessment (IA)-Teacher scored/IB may moderate scores

SLIDE 26

Now what?

General questions? Specific to your student – please ask me (regarding the program) or your child’s current teacher (for placement) or guidance counselor.
