During the two IB years: Grade 11 and Grade 12, being a part of CAS projects is an essential requirement and to record my future or on-going CAS projects, i have decided to create this blog.
Whats the relation between IB and CAS?
"The aim of all IB program is to develop internationally minded people who recognize their common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet, help to create a better and more peaceful world"
In the IB learner profile, there is one profile which stands out the most, hence being related to the definition of CAS the most.
Balanced: They understand the importance of intellectual,physical and emotional balance to achieve personal well-being for themselves and others.
One of the main aims for CAS is to balance out the importance of studying and physical activities.
What is CAS?
Creativity: Arts, and other experiences that involve creative thinking.
Action: physical excertion contributing to a healthy lifestyle, complementing academic wrok elsewhere in the Diploma Program.
Service: an unpaid and voluntary exchange that has a learning benefit for the student. The rights, dignity and autonomy of all those involved and respected.
"CAS enables students to enhance their personal and interpersonal developments through experiential learning.
CAS is a framework for experiental learning designed to involve students in new roles. The emphasis is on learning by doing real tasks that have consequences and then reflecting on these experiences over time." (OSC, CAS Handbook 2009-011)
Setting Goals:
I believe that setting goals to all my projects is a very good idea. Why? Because later on, i may get distracted from what i had once initially started with and later on referring back to my goal would help me a lot. I would really prioritize myself to write a goal for each and every single project i work on and ofcourse, try to achieve them.
