Selection of CAS experiences You select 3 experiences: · 1 creativity · 1 activity · 1 service to make sure that there is a reasonable balance between the 3 strands of CAS. CAS project In addition, you initiate a CAS project of at least one month’s duration. A CAS project is a collaborative, well-considered series of sequential CAS experiences. It can address any single strand of CAS, or combine two or all three strands. Make sure to use the CAS stages as a framework for implementation. CAS portfolio You document your CAS experiences, noting in particular your reflections, on Managebac. Its extent should match the significance and depth of your involvement in the particular activity (there’s no point in writing lengthy accounts about routine experiences). It must give the information what happened, why it happened, how it happened, what its value was, and what you have learned from it. For each experience/project, you show evidence of one or more of the 7 learning outcomes. Evidence may include, but is not limited to, the following: digital media (photographs, film/video, audio recordings, blogs, web pages), printed media (correspondence, published articles, posters, booklets) and physical objects. CAS handbook At the beginning of the school year during the IB Orientation Days, I will give you a hard copy of the CAS handbook of Stiftung Louisenlund contai- ning all the details you have to know about the CAS programme. In addi- tion, there is a pdf-version of the CAS handbook on Managebac which will give you access from anywhere at any time. “…if you believe in something, you must not just think or talk or write, but must act.” CAS Coordinator: Svenja Budziak (Peterson 2003) 11
