This teacher has the role to provide ongoing support and advice to individuals or groups of CAS students in relation to their CAS programme. CAS advisers participate in professional development, often led by the CAS coordinator to understand their roles and responsibilities.

The following tasks are expected from CAS advisers: (lifted from CAS subject guide, 2017) 

  • educate students on all aspects of the CAS programme

  • educate students on the meaning and purpose of the CAS learning outcomes

  • assist students with clarifying and developing the attributes of the IB learner profile

  • support students in understanding ethical concerns and international-mindedness

  • develop purposeful reflection skills through individual interviews, group discussions and teaching strategies 

  • provide feedback on student reflections

  • assist students in identifying personal and group goals

  • discuss goals and achievements in regular meetings

  • provide ongoing guidance and support to students

  • monitor the range and balance of experiences undertaken by individuals

  • advise and monitor progress towards meeting the CAS learning outcomes

  • periodically review students’ CAS portfolios

  • meet each student in four formal documented interviews. 


In terms of scheduling purposes, CAS advisers are suggested to maximize their contact time with students during morning hour and the weekly homeroom hour to meet with individual students for their interviews and consultations. However, they can also use their personal time to feedback on Managebac entries of the students for at least once a week.

 

CAS SupervisorS

The CAS supervisor assists, offers guidance and oversees the students’ CAS experiences when needed. A supervisor may not be necessary if a student is able to undertake a CAS experience without assistance or supervision. However, the student’s Homeroom teacher can be assigned as the supervisor for more stakeholders to be involved in the students’ CAS plans.
