that aligns with the IB’s philosophy and mission. 

If the schools mission aligns with the IBs mission this will make CAS easier to implement. Schools that do this will allocate time appropriately in the timetable, ensure the CAS coordinator has time in their schedule, and that relevant people have CAS training.

Purpose 2: The school’s pedagogical leadership team embraces educational approaches that encourage students to become active, compassionate life-long learners.

The IB encourages students to be active - this fits well with the active strand within CAS. It also talks about compassion, which relates to service. Finally it mentions that students should be life-long learners, which relates to CAS in so far as CAS encourages students to pursue learning beyond the curriculum and develop skills and passions that make them more well-rounded. 

Purpose 3: The school community fosters internationally minded people who embody all attributes of the IB learner profile.

Focuses on the learner profile. CAS is a great opportunity for students to build these different qualities. For example the “reflective” element of the profile is essential for CAS, but also “Caring” “Risk Takers” and “Principled” play an important role too.

• Have a CAS Exhibition as it helps to spread the learning culture of CAS to all students, including younger ones.

• Have older CAS students meet with younger ones to have a 'CAS Shout Out!' where they share their experiences, do's and don'ts.

• Trying to move students away from the 'This is something that we have to do' and engaging them so that they are seeing the enjoyment from it. E.g. CAS Heroes, singing their praises in a parent newsletter. CAS Newsletter.

• If you don't have allocated/protected CAS lessons or time, then it takes away from the seriousness of it.

• Have a team of Advisors dedicated to CAS to ensure that it is being as effective as possible.

• Having support from SLT.

• CAS Co-ordinator having dedicated time to deliver training. Having protected time as Co-ordinator.

• It make students think of other people who might need help

• Often limited to the “arts” but it can be broadened out to include “skills”. 

  • JAYE - Students create their own business, run their own website, develop skills etc. 

• Activities like debate clubs and MUN can also include this

• Creativity can come out through other avenues for example group four projects (E.g. “creating the perfect steak” - level of detail including the cut of beef, temperature, biology, computer modelling and lab grown meat etc).

• Is very broad and can allow students to explore lots of different creative outlets.

• A lot of them are suitable for long term projects 

• Allows students to play to their strengths - taking what they are interested in and helping them build on that.

What are the weaknesses of Creativity?

• Students may feel they are limited with what they can complete that is “creative”

• In learning something new they can feel like they have “completed” it relatively quickly (e.g. within a term) and want to move onto a new thing, so finding things that students can engage with for the long term can be challenging. 

• Tends to involve a lot more planning than activity or service. 

What problems do you face with students in engaging with creativity?

• Students come with a predetermined view that they have to “find” things to “tick off”. 

• Helping students to develop intrinsic motivation to find creativity

• Defining creativity - this may look different for different students. 

  • Broadening students' understanding that creativity is more than just the “arts”.

What is your evidence for saying that?

• The things students say 

• Expereince

Variety vs developing one particular activity. Both are fine.

Ideas other than conventional sport e.g. hiking. Most usually sport though. Try to discourage E-Sports. Maybe tournament organisation.

A social / group element can often help. Those who are already experienced in a certain sport can then develop a service element by putting on a tournament / challenge for others.
