<p>This question sheet speaks directly to students in order to prepare them for a successful second CAS interview. It has ten prompting and reflective questions.</p> <p>“Your second CAS interview will take place before the end of your DP 2 year. You should come prepared with your CAS Portfolio, as well as evidence of the five Stages of Development. Additionally, your CAS Supervisor will ask you about the various components of you CAS project. If you are not completely done each aspect of your programme, there is some time for you to apply the feedback from the interview and finish CAS confidently. You may feel more comfortable if you prepare for the questions in advance.”</p>

<p>A simple and effective tool to keep track of students’ CAS experiences! This char is especially useful if you do not use ManageBac. Students give a brief description of their experience, identity the appropriate category/categories, are reminded to collect evidence as well as reflect and to get a supervisor’s signature as proof of completion. Done in a chart format, it is both easy for students to use and easy for CAS Coordinators to find potential gaps and areas of growth.</p>

<p>This teaching tool describes in detail the IB DP CAS learning objectives directly from the curriculum, but it also break down the content in understandable student friendly language. It asks students thought provoking questions to check for understanding as well as providing real world examples.</p> <p>For me, it has promoted great classes discussions, as well as healthy debates in class. Students can even break intro groups and create mini presentations about each LO.</p> <p>Design to be used as a poster or a resources that they can keep alongside other CAS resources. It can also be handy to place in your CAS Handbook</p>

<p>The CAS project is a large undertaking for DP students, and can often be a tremendously rewarding experience for the students involved. That being said, it has many steps to complete, requires a great deal of organization, approvals and documentation.</p> <p>This document is designed to take student through the steps they need to take in order to have a successful CAS project. It will help then write a thorough CAS project proposal and remind them of the appropriate CAS Stage of Planning. An example is given for direct guidance. The document includes: Coming Up With A Good Idea, Finding A Suitable Supervisor, Writing Your Proposal, Proposal Example, Staring Your Experience.</p> <p>Please see my CAS Stages of CAS Planning Resources if students need revision or guidance and this has plenty of real world examples.</p>

<p>As educators, we are aware of the transformative power and multitude of benefits service learning can provide for our students. This poster is designed to help guide students to create service experiences which are meaningful and have lasting effects. It can act as a classroom tool to assist in their planning, and ensure they are thinking about both global and local issues.</p> <p>In my CAS classes, I take the time to break down all five points individually as a lesson, adding additional examples and taking questions if they arise. During the remainder of the year it acts as an anchor chart if students have questions as well as a great starting-off point if students are looking for ideas.</p>

<p>Due to the inclusive and broad aspects of CAS, students can often get confused as to what qualifies as a CAS experience. This poster is designed for students to ask themselves reflective questions and determine if an experience they are planning meets the CAS criteria. Created in an A3 size, it can easily be printed and used in a classroom as a resource which CAS Coordinators and CAS Supervisors can direct students to. Personally, it has saved me a great deal of time in the classroom.</p>

<p>This two page worksheet is designed to help guide IB DP students through their first CAS experience based on a hobby or area of interest they are already pursuing in their lives. Minor prior knowledge of the CAS program is required, but thoughtful guidance and questions have been added. This is a great tool for one of the first classes to make sure students are linking their experiences to the learning objectives as well as creating achievable goals.</p>

<p>An IBO requirement, the CAS Portfolio! If students have been reflecting and collecting evidence regularly, the majority of their CAS Portfolio work should be placing it all together in an organized and professional manner. As the CAS portfolio has evolved and can now be used in post-secondary and internship applications, students should be encourage to take advantage of the benefits this document could have. For Coordinators, this is a great way to showcase the fantastic work the students have been doing throughout their journey in the DP Programme. This editable Google Document includes: What is A CAS Portfolio, What Your Portfolio Should Include, Other Items to Include, and Student Portfolio Examples.</p>

<p>The last and final stage of CAS Project Planning! By now, students may be loosing enthusiasm or energy, but a fantastic and informative demonstration can make a big difference in how their project is received by the school and larger community. This document is created to remind students that their project can continue to have lasting effects if they prepare with a specific intent and audience in mind. The document includes: Categories of Demonstration, Graphic Organizer, Choosing Your Audience, and Things To Consider. As the worksheet is content heavy, I would advise using your CAS time to break the items down so students understand the new terminology. It can also easily be edited to add further examples.</p>

<p>This can be stage that CAS students often look forward to the least because they often think of reflection as purely writing about what happened. The acceptable format for reflections, as well as their importance has changed a lot in the last few years, and this document reflects that. Included in the document is: What Are Reflections, Factors to Keep in Mind, Guiding Questions, Acceptable Forms of Reflections, and Students Examples. There are many ways that you could break down this document into one, two or even three class lessons. Alternatively it acts as a foundations documents that students could refer to when reflecting on both their experiences and projects.</p>

<p>Stage 3, Action, is the moment the students have been waiting for! It is the culmination of the majority of all of their hard work. This document has been designed to help students anticipate potential problems, as well as seek feedback before the start of the project. It includes: Considering A Trial Run, Creating A Focus Group, Using a Feedback Matrix and Project Closure.</p>

<p>Out of the five stages of planning DP Students must go through, Preparation can often be the longest and require the most work. Students may need additional guidance to make sure they are not only organized, but are informing the right stakeholders far enough in advance. Keeping track of documentation and evidence during this stage is also very important. This document Includes: Preparation Description, Suggestions For Organization Tools, Action Plan Chart Example, Final Reflection Questions.</p>
