About the workshop

DEVELOP QUALITY CAS PROGRAMME, EXPLORE EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING AND SUPPORT STUDENT REFLECTION AND SELF AWARENESS

REQUIRED FOR All CAS Coordinators

This workshop is designed to help CAS coordinators develop a quality CAS programme that supports the IB mission statement and philosophy.

The workshop will focus on:

• the IB mission and philosophy and the programme model as a context for a holistic learning experience
• the experiential learning framework, how this relates to CAS and how CAS can support teaching and learning across the DP
• the dynamic nature that exists between CAS and theory of knowledge (TOK) when emphasizing the importance of reflection and developing self-awareness
• types of conditions and activities that are suitable when developing a meaningful CAS experience that promotes the idea of “thinking globally, acting locally”
• the meaning of CAS for the wider school community
• the roles that the CAS coordinator and supervisor play, and how the roles differ
• the meaning of CAS for students’ personal successes and challenges
• the use of the programme resource centre to access IB publications and network with other IB educators.
