Try something new. Jump out of your comfort zone. Don't just dip your toes, go in head first!

In your CAS experience, the next 18-months will allow you to challenge yourself, explore something new, and then reflect constantly on what you are learning. At the end of your experience you'll be able to look back and see how much you've changed, and how that change will carry you throughout your life! Knowing that you can and will change, and are able to grow as a learner and individual.

Reflection is a very good exercise its nothing but expressions of observation , thoughts and feelings .   There may be a group of students doing the same task but have reflected differently . They may have achieved a different learning outcomes for the same activity. So as a teacher it also enhances our understanding of the students and planning activities that will be more meaningful.

Depending on the experiences we had, we will remember the strongest sensations that were experienced and it is not until a master practitioner of reflection guides us we realize that we missed so much in what we actually emotional felt
what we physical touched, what we smelt, heard saw and shared during the whole experience. I believe we need to teach show and guide students to tune into reflection using all the senses

Learning through experience is an opportunity for students who want to become special individuals, improving their personal and group abilities, outside of regular classes in school. The focus of CAS is preparing students to be creative, active and helpful.

The heart of CAS is engagement with your context and exploration of new contexts. Whether through art-making, physical activity, or service, CAS is about being a global citizen, learning through action, and sharing the privileges you have with others.

Reflection as a reception of citizenshipThe key to excellence through active intervention in global life problems, the emergence of citizens of their country through the prism of active, positive activities, is the primary task that sets the CAS programs ahead of us

Students apply what they have learned from other subjects and life into practice to make other people's lives better. At the same time they also train and grow themselves into inquiring, knowledge and caring young people.
This is a great slogan for experiential education and CAS.

CAS is about encouraging our students to see their lives, their talents, their health, their education and their belief in helping others as one big picture of what it means to be human.
This is the role of CAS in developing the whole person.

Students learn to reflect on their experiences and how they are becoming more balanced, caring, and pro-active individuals so that they can develop strategies for solving problems of both a personal and global nature in the future.

Hi Janice, I like the idea of students developing strategies to solve problems

CAS is not simply participating in experiences which is meaningless in itself. Reflection is integral in the learning process.
Hi, Reflection is the key to learning from CAS.

CAS enables us to go beyond pure academic skills and knowledge. We « activate » our acquired knowledge and skills in the real world and we reflect on our actions to become more caring global citizens.

Hi Solene, A good friend and colleague of mine once said that CAS is the heart of the DP. Like the reference to mind and hearts.

The youth of today are all about breaking down walls and making passionate changes in other people’s lives. They are taking a stand against old world ideas and while respecting them, making positive moves forward so that others behind them can have a better outlook on the world. By thinking straight and developing clear ideas, their honesty will build a passion within them that will never die out. Our job is to help this youth of today by guiding them down their own individual paths and then getting out of their way to let them experience all the world has to offer.

Hi, I like this comment about the role that young people have in remoulding the world in their own fashion

This is our schools motto, but I also think encapsulates the evolution of thought that we want students to experience when going through the CAS program, particularly in relation to reflection. It's a process.

Good one Shannon. This could be a great slogan for CAS. John
