+Learning Outcome 1
Students are able to see themselves as individuals with various skills and abilities, some more developed than others, and understand that they can make choices about how they wish to move forward.
Increased their awareness of their own strengths and areas for growth
![Page 8: CAS Presentation BISB 2010](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/548ffca7b47959d3248b4618/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
+Learning Outcome 2
A new challenge may be an unfamiliar activity, or an extension to an existing one.
As with new challenges, new skills may be shown in activities that the student has not previously undertaken, or in increased expertise in an established area.
Undertaken new challenges
![Page 9: CAS Presentation BISB 2010](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/548ffca7b47959d3248b4618/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
+Learning Outcome 3
Planning and initiation will often be in collaboration with others. It can be shown in activities that are part of larger projects, for example, ongoing school activities in the local community, as well as in small student-led activities.
Planned and initiated activities
![Page 10: CAS Presentation BISB 2010](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/548ffca7b47959d3248b4618/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
+Learning Outcome 4
Collaboration can be shown in many different activities, such as team sports, playing music in a band, or helping in a kindergarten. At least one project involving collaboration and the integration of at least two of creativity, action, and service is required.
Worked collaboratively with others
![Page 11: CAS Presentation BISB 2010](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/548ffca7b47959d3248b4618/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
+Learning Outcome 5
At a minimum, this implies attending regularly and accepting a share of the responsibility for dealing with problems that arise in the course of the activities.
Shown perseverance and commitment in their activities
![Page 12: CAS Presentation BISB 2010](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/548ffca7b47959d3248b4618/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
+Learning Outcome 6
Students may be involved in international projects but there are many global issues that can be acted upon locally or nationally (for example, environmental concerns, caring for the elderly, education).
This usually stems from some service project.
Engaged with issues of global importance
![Page 13: CAS Presentation BISB 2010](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/548ffca7b47959d3248b4618/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
+Learning Outcome 7
Ethical decisions arise in almost any CAS activity. You may encounter issues where you have to decide what is right and wrong about how you act, which volunteer opportunities you choose, the what are the consequences of those activities in the community and in the world.
Considered the ethical implications of their actions
![Page 14: CAS Presentation BISB 2010](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/548ffca7b47959d3248b4618/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
+Learning Outcome 8
As with new challenges, new skills may be shown in activities that the student has not previously undertaken, or in increased expertise in an established area.
Developed new skills
![Page 15: CAS Presentation BISB 2010](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/548ffca7b47959d3248b4618/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
+
In other words…
You will have changed in a profound way as a result of CAS.
![Page 16: CAS Presentation BISB 2010](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/548ffca7b47959d3248b4618/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

+And what is not CAS?
Anything that is already part of the student’s Diploma Program.
An activity for which a student is personally rewarded either financially or with some other benefit (unless this benefit is passed on in full to a worthy cause).
Simple, tedious, and repetitive work like collecting tickets or passing out programs.
A passive activity – visiting a museum, watching a concert, or sports event. There must be INTERACTION and ACTIVITY.
![Page 24: CAS Presentation BISB 2010](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051514/548ffca7b47959d3248b4618/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
+Still not CAS?
Religious devotion (i.e. going to church, saying prayers, serving at communion)
Family duties – helping your little brother with homework, visiting your grandmother.
Fund-raising with no clearly defined end in sight.
An activity where there is no leader or responsible adult on site to evaluate and confirm student performance. (This may be negotiated on a case by case basis if student
is able to otherwise prove successful completion of activity.)
