CAS learning outcomes

As a result of your CAS experience as a whole, there should be evidence that students have participated in experiences/projects that involve one or more of the following outcomes (all 7 need to be achieved by the end of the CAS program):

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.

All seven outcomes must be touched on for a student to complete the CAS requirement. Some may be demonstrated many times, in a variety of activities, but completion requires that they have evidence of meeting the outcome a minimum of one time.
