Teacher/Adult Roles

The DOE Team oversees all sections of the Award for their participants, coach them through the Adventurous Journey, instruct them in things like camp craft, navigation, and first aid, etc. They are responsible for risk assessment and student safety. They coordinate with the Award foundation, school, parents, and other teachers. They ensure that the requirements of the DOE program have been met.

DOE Section Activity Assessors

Any adult (not a family member) who supervises an activity which can be counted for a Section of the Award. (i.e sports coach, piano teacher)

• Agrees to be an assessor after discussion with prospective participant

• Helps the candidate to enhance their skills in that particular area

• Meets with the candidate to get updates on their progress in that activity

• Checks that they are on track with their logs for that activity

• Completes Assessor Reports for the participant.

** This is essentially the same role as a CAS supervisor. You may be both the CAS supervisor and DOE Assessor for a single activity and participant.

How to complete an Assessor Report:

• You will receive an email from the ORB (Online Record Book) on behalf of the student asking you to complete an assessment

• click on the link to see their stated goal (at the top) and scroll through their logs and evidence

• If you are satisfied that the student has done the activity and that they have made progress toward/met their goal:

  • 1. write a comment or two on their efforts

    2. for ‘My Qualification’ you can write ‘Activity Assessor’

    3. for ‘My Experience’ you can write pretty much anything (i.e. piano teacher, 2 years DOE assessor, etc.)

    4. if you prefer not to enter your own phone number, you may enter the school's phone number (03-3704-2661)

    5. check the box that certifies the student has completed the activity.

    6. Submit

• If you are not convinced that the student has properly completed the activity, please write to the student, cc’ing their Award Leader (Bill, Shantelle, Austin, Ema, or Scott)
