Requirements for a succesful CAS completion
Every school organizes CAS in different ways, but all have ultimate requirements that by the end of the the two DP years students:
complete 18 months of participation;
participate in one time activities and lead their own long term project (at least a month);
provide evidence of achieving 7 learning outcomes;
constantly reflect;
balance C, A and S.
As a school wewe expect that you will
attend CAS reflection AND PhE hours regularly, on time;
attend school run projects as well as initiate your own:
be part of a group project that lasts minimum of one month and has from 3 to 5 participants;
fill in your weekly CAS record;
reflect regularly on your CAS experience;
perform assignments you are given throughout 18 months.
How am I going to be assessed?
At the end of the course, you will take final – 3rd interview. Afterwards, CAS coordinator with the help of your CAS advisor will evaluate to what extent you reached learning outcomes. Once CAS coordinator enters your results in IBIS, the machine will generate three random names for external moderation. CAS records of those 3 students is sent to external evaluators. For the official IB results, CAS gives you a pass or a fail. Not a grade.
Meanwhile, much of the evidence come from your performance during all 18 months, advisor’s reports and your consistency in turning in all the assignments as well as feedback from your PhE teacher, project leaders and your counterparts. The advisors will report to you by using a checklist of the tasks you are completing. The checklist will appear in Out of 7.
