Click on links above to see examples of each type of experience

P LUS, one FINAL reflection and at least 1 piece of evidence (photo/video) for each experience....in MANAGEBAC

Every 9th grader will be strongly encouraged to join one SERVICE CLUB and one STUDENT LIFE Club (for creativity and activity) this year)

SERVICE LEARNING PROJECT USING 5 STAGES OF SERVICE LEARNING:

+ As a 9th grader, you are not required to initiate a Service Learning project, but you are strongly encouraged to get involved in one that other students initiate and run via the service clubs.

If you have a service project idea, however, and are familiar with using the 5 stages of service learning, please speak to Mrs. Freund to discuss opportunities for you to initiate your own project in 9th grade.

The ONLY way we know that you have completed the experiences and developed as a person in some way, shape, or form is via your CASL Portfolio in Managebac .

You will do this with reflection and evidence of participating and learning.

WHAT TO DO and HOW TO DO IT:

1. When you start an experience either for Creativity, Activity, or Service - ADD the experience on Managebac - Description, personal goal (WHY ARE YOU DOING IT? Should be meaningful TO YOU and only YOU and also you should be aiming to extend a current skill OR acquire new skills or challenges). Choose whether it is C, A, or S (or more than one).

Also, click on 1-2 LEARNING OUTCOMES that you want to try to develop in that experience.

2. Any time DURING experience but definitely AT THE END OF EXPERIENCE, REFLECT and provide minimum one piece of EVIDENCE that 1) you actually did this 2) what you learned / how you developed and grew as a person

Still not sure how to use Managebac as your portfolio?

If YES, click HERE for more guidance

REFLECTIONS: Use the following to help with reflection:

What: What did you do exactly?

So what? Who cares? Why does it matter at all to you (personal goal), to the world (giving back), to the learning outcomes (you chose to develop)

Now what? How can you use this new skill/knowledge in the future OR as a "next step"

AND/OR

The four F’s are:

Facts: An objective account of what happened
Feelings: The emotional reactions to the situation
Findings: The concrete learning that you can take away from the situation (focus on the LEARNING OUTCOMES if you can)
Future: Structuring your learning such that you can use it in the future

EVIDENCE: Examples of evidence, but not limited to this list. Be creative!

Photos with captions, Video clearly showing YOU doing what you say you have done or you working on the learning goals you have set
Video clearly showing YOU doing what you say you have done or you working on the learning goals you have set
