Status Updates and CAS reports

Reports

This week you will receive a CAS report.  It will be sent by email to your parents and you can find it on your CAS portfolio under documents.

CAS experiences

You will also see a a table like this.
It shows your experiences - the strand, the outcomes, number of reflections and status.  An experience only shows as complete when you have uploaded enough evidence and reflection, complete the CAS questions and received a supervisor review.  If you have no supervisor, it will be sent to me to complete.  All on-going experiences should be marked 'approved.'  If they are not, it could be because you have not filled in the details.

Projects

In addition to all the documentation required for normal experiences, a project must have the CAS stages document with evidence for each stage.

Progress

Your overall progress will show with an indicator.  It can be excellent, on track or concern.

• 
  Excellent: CAS project is completed. The student is up-to-date on all experiences with evidence and reflection. Most learning outcomes are covered and the student has experiences for all 3 strands.
• 
  On Track: The CAS project is well underway or nearly completed. The student is up-to-date on most experiences with evidence and reflection. Most learning outcomes are covered and the student has experiences for all 3 strands.

• Concern: Little or no evidence or reflection for experiences or CAS project. Student is not up-to-date on many experiences.

Learning Outcomes

The final section shows the learning outcomes.  Remember that you must cover all 7 to get your IB Diploma.  Where you can see green bars - that means you have reflected or added evidence to support that outcome.  Yellow - means you have not as yet added any evidence or reflection to support the outcome but plan to do so.

If there is no line - that means you have not as yet planned an experience to cover that learning outcome.  Think about how you can do that next term!

You can see in this example that the student hasn't got any plans for learning outcomes 3 and 7.  The student has some evidence/reflection for learning outcomes 1, 4 and 5.  The student has planned to cover learning outcomes 2 and 6.

Summer CAS

Don't forget to contact me if you are thinking about doing some new CAS experience in the summer.  Most of the time I will be checking my emails.

Have a great summer!
