How many hours of SA must be completed by MYP students each year?

• There is no time requirement for SA. The MYP simply requires that the students meet the school’s yearly expectations for SA. These need to be expressed qualitatively, not quantitatively.

Who is responsible for recording work on Managebac?

• The student is. Each student is responsible for recording his/her Service as Action activities and provide all the necessary evidence of their work. Students will have a designated activity supervisor, who will guide them throughout the entire process.

What counts as Service as Action evidence?

It is highly recommended that students show evidence of the three educational experience domains: inquiry, action and reflection.

• Examples of Evidence of Inquiry: Internet research, interviews, activity planning, conferences, readings, visits, calendar, meetings, rehearsals, etc.

• Examples of Evidence of reflection: written or oral reports about the entire Service as Action activity process. These reflections should include how the student worked on the Service as Action learning outcomes; how subject knowledge was applied; how ATL skills were developed; student’s feelings throughout the process; problem solving; ways of improving their work in the future, etc.

• Examples of Evidence of Action: photos, videos, posters, etc. showing the students doing the service.
