Working Together

Demonstrate the skills and recognise the benefits of working collaboratively

This week the focus is on working together - learning outcome 5.  This is the learning outcome that you should have for your project as it must be a collaborative experience.  You can of course use it for other experiences where you are collaborating with others.  The important point is that you show evidence of working together and that you reflect on the skills required to do this successfully and the the benefits of collaboration.

Evidence can be:

• planning documents with the different roles each person takes
• pictures
• schedules
• recordings

Reflection can include:

• problems you encountered with others
• ways that you learnt from others
• what you learnt from others
• adjustments you made for the group
• comments on group dynamics

It is important that if you have chosen this outcome for an experience that it is clear there are other people involved and the roles everyone takes.  It should not just be about what you as an individual did but how the group worked.

Check your learning outcomes

Remember that you need to meet all the 7 learning outcomes by the end of the the DP.  You can check how many of them you have planned to cover in your CAS worksheet.  You will see a graphic like this: 

The ones with green numbers are the ones that you have already clicked when you have added evidence and reflections.  The ones with yellow are planned but you have not yet added any evidence or reflection that relates to them.  If you do do have a green or yellow number, it means you do not have any experiences that relate to that leaning outcome.  You must have all 7 covered.  You will be asked to show how you reached them towards the end of grade 12 so make sure that you have evidence and reflection that demonstrates each outcome.

Opportunities

Red Cross is looking for volunteers to work in its shop on Dalagatan (near Odenplan).  If you are interested in this you can ask Sumheda about her experience at Red Cross.  You do not need to speak Swedish.   Ask me if you need help applying.
