CAS Stages

Stage 1: Investigation

  • What issue will you focus on?

  • Have you confirmed there is a genuine need? What is the need? How do you know it is a need?

  • Who will you work with?

 

Stage 2: Preparation

  • What is your plan? 

  • What are the team roles? Who will do what?

  • What resources do you need? Collect them.

  • How much time will this take? What are your deadlines within that time?

 

Stage 3: Action

  • Implement your plan! Adjust as necessary.

 

Stage 4: Reflection (continuously throughout the other stages)

  • What do you think about your project? How do you feel about it? 

  • What did you accomplish? Learn? 

 

Stage 5: Demonstration

  • How will you show the RHS community what you have accomplished?

CAS Projects

All CAS students are expected to complete at least 1 CAS porject during their 18 month participation in CAS.

 

What is a CAS project?

  • Collaborative: completed with other CAS participants or members of the community

  • Carefully Designed: with a definite purpose and end goal(s) in mind; must follow the CAS stages

  • Sustained: Takes at least 1 month to plan and execute

 

CAS projects can adress one or more of the strands of CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service). For example:

  • Creativity: design and paint a mural in school or community

  • Activity: start a walking group, plan routes, set goals, monitor fitness levels of participants

  • Service: provide computer instruction clinics for people in need

  • Service and Activity: develop and run a basketball clinic for local middle students to improve their skills

  • Service and Creativity: provide art classes for children at the local hospital

 

Special considerations for service projects: 

You must take into account the opinions and expectations of everyone involved, especially members of the community who will be affected by your service.

 

Before you begin you need to:

  • identify a genuine need for the service you wish to provide (must be agreed upon by community partners)

  • idnetify a community liaison- who will you be working with outside of the school?

  • understand the level of participation required- is this truly something you can do in the time you have?

  • identify any potential risk factors

  • get approval from the CAS coordinator

  • demonstrate how the CAS stages were followed

  • evaluate the benefits of the service for all involved (CAS Guide)
