GNS IB Class 2011
As you continue to work your way through your IB diploma requirements, by now your Extended essay should be nearing completion. Today is the date when your second draft is due for feedback from your supervisor. It would be such a pity if you miss that opportunity. Your final essay is due to me on November 2.
Most diploma candidates are well on their way in meeting the CAS requirement and I have those CAS logs that were turned in last June. As you continue to record how you are meeting the CAS requirements,
remember to keep the eight learning outcomes in mind (from the handout "What is CAS?")

remember to keep the eight learning outcomes in mind (from the handout "What is CAS?")CAS Learning Outcomes
As a result of their CAS experience as a whole, including their reflections, there must be evidence that students have:
1. Increased their awareness of their own strengths and areas for growth: they are able to see themselves as individuals with various skills and abilities, some more developed than others, and understand that they can make choices about how they wish to move forward.
2. Undertake new challenges: a new challenge may be an unfamiliar activity, or an extension to an existing one.
3. Planned and initiated activities: planning and initiation will often be in collaboration with others. It can be shown in activities that are part of larger projects, for example, ongoing school activities in the local community, as well as in small student-led activities.
4. Worked collaboratively with others
Collaboration can be shown in many different activities, such as team sports, playing music in a band, or helping in a kindergarten.
At least one project, involving collaboration and the integration of at least two of creativity, action and service, is required.
5. Shown perseverance and commitment in their activities
At a minimum, this implies attending regularly and accepting a share of the responsibility for dealing with problems that arise in the course of activities.
6. Engaged with issues of global importance
Students may be involved in international projects but there are many global issues that can be acted upon locally or nationally (for example, environmental concerns, caring for the elderly).
7. Considered the ethical implications of their actions
Ethical decisions arise in almost any CAS activity (for example, on the sports field, in musical composition, in relationships with others involved in service activities). Evidence of thinking about ethical issues can be shown in various ways, including journal entries and conversations with CAS advisers.
8. Developed new skills
As with new challenges, new skills may be shown in activities that the student has not previously undertaken, or in increased expertise in an established area.
All eight outcomes must be present for a student to complete the CAS requirement. Some may be demonstrated many times, in a variety of activities, but completion requires only that there is some evidence for every outcome. Students should be involved in at least one project involving teamwork that integrates two or more of creativity, action and service, and is of significant duration.
The number of hours of service are used to help you with that aspect of Grad transitions and the number of hours of activity helps you meet the DPA requirement for Grad transitions. The number of hours of Creativity is not as crucial, but satisfying the 8 learning outcomes and participating in a sustained project (or club or team) are crucial.
