![Page 19: The Heart of the IB. NOTE! CAS & our Mission Statement.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062318/5518ce29550346a61f8b5b6a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
It is not CAS if:It’s
already part of a
DP subject
Money is received
There is no supervisor
input
It’s a family duty
Actively promotes a religion
Focus is on hour counting
It’s a simple , repetitive
task
Only involves
fundraising
![Page 20: The Heart of the IB. NOTE! CAS & our Mission Statement.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062318/5518ce29550346a61f8b5b6a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Fundraising only is not CAS!
"give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he will eat for a
lifetime"
![Page 21: The Heart of the IB. NOTE! CAS & our Mission Statement.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062318/5518ce29550346a61f8b5b6a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
DOING is key but ‘DOING’ is only one part of CAS!
PLANIdentify goals
Decide how using previous
experience & knowledge
ACT Real tasks Concrete
experience OBSERVE
Thinking about feelings and interactions
REFLECTIdentify
achievements & outstanding issues,
strengths & weaknesses
Evaluate action synthesize new understandings
![Page 22: The Heart of the IB. NOTE! CAS & our Mission Statement.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062318/5518ce29550346a61f8b5b6a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
REFLECTION IS A MUST IN CAS
‘Experience without
reflection is like a book unread’
![Page 23: The Heart of the IB. NOTE! CAS & our Mission Statement.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062318/5518ce29550346a61f8b5b6a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

CAS Report
‘More and more, a good performance in CAS is becoming a vital part of university admissions…’
‘In the US and UK, it can actually enhance or damage the student’s chances because it makes the difference between merely an excellent student & an excellent student with evidence of a well-rounded personality, international-mindedness and concern for others…’
![Page 36: The Heart of the IB. NOTE! CAS & our Mission Statement.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062318/5518ce29550346a61f8b5b6a/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
CAS Report
Many schools ask coordinators to provide a full CAS report for each student at the time of predicted grades submission or university (UCAS in particular!)
All or some of it then becomes part of the application process…
