This document provides information about CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) which is a requirement for IB Diploma students. It explains that CAS involves having a balanced variety of experiences in creativity, activity, and service over 18 months. Students must reflect on their experiences, achieve 7 learning outcomes, and document their experiences and reflections in a CAS portfolio using tools like ManageBac. The document outlines what constitutes a valid CAS experience, CAS stages, CAS projects, and the school's CAS policy for student participation and documentation.
CAS is a requirement for the IB diploma that requires students to engage in extracurricular activities in three categories: creativity, activity, and service. It is meant to provide students opportunities to pursue passions, try new activities, and develop holistically outside the classroom. Students must choose a range of relevant activities, set goals for each, and meet eight learning outcomes through reflection and evidence uploaded to the Managebac platform. CAS can be seen as either a burden or chance by students, so finding a balanced approach is important.

Key changes include extending the exploration period to 12 years, increasing the maximum acreage for mining licenses from 8% to 20% of Mongolia's land, and requiring preference for Mongolian suppliers, employees, and customers. While some aspects were modified, competitive bidding is still not required for all new licenses and license holders are not required to periodically relinquish exploration areas. The amendments also establish new powers for government agencies related to mining.
The document discusses experiential learning through student leadership experiences. It proposes that leadership roles provide rich opportunities for personal and professional development by allowing students to gain transferable workplace skills. An evaluation found that student leaders were able to reflect on their values and skills development, with 100% able to identify skills gained. The document recommends integrating more reflection activities into leadership programs and partnering with career centers to further support experiential learning through student leadership.

Insha’allah: Co-Creating Positivity in Independent Language Learning through Coaching at CNA-Q
Presenters: Lonnie Croal and Larissa Thurlow, College of the North Atlantic-Qatar, Qatar
The Independent Learning Centre (ILC), housed within the Learning Commons at CNA-Q, is an environment in which learners are encouraged to take responsibility for their learning and deepen their understanding of the learning process. This strategically located space is where autonomy is promoted and supported. The unique challenges of this educational context (high dependence of learners and low meta-cognitive awareness) are an opportunity for a framework of professional coaching. A pilot coaching project carried out over a 15 week semester with a diverse group of English as Foreign Language (EFL) students highlighted the benefits in addressing this gap. We wanted to demonstrate that a shift to coaching would: 1) result in students becoming autonomous and responsible for their learning 2) promote learner reflection at a deeper, more affective level 3) help to remove the stigma associated with receiving Language Support, which is viewed by many faculty and students as “remedial” help. • Would shifting to a coaching focus help reframe how the Language Support Centre and the ILC are viewed both by learners and faculty?
This presentation includes a set of frameworks, steps, and worksheets for developing institutional student learning outcomes tied to community/civic engagement.
Diving Deep: Growing the Field of Civic Engagement Practitioner-ScholarsIowa Campus Compact
This session will be an engaging conversation for current and future civic engagement practitioners, practitioner-scholars, and those who support their work. Attendees will be among the first to review and utilize a new publication resource guiding professional development and career advancement for professionals. Attendees will engage in a conversation with a panel about this publication. The discussion will focus on a framework for understanding the competencies needed in the role of community service-learning professional. The session will review four categories, as outlined in the publication: Organizational Manager, Institutional Strategic Leader, Field Contributor, and Community Innovator. In the first half of the session, a panel of practitioners who helped to develop the framework and publication will reflect on their experiences and engage attendees in a discussion of challenges and lessons learned. The second half of the session will allow attendees to utilize this framework in order to think about and plan for their own professional development and the position of their work in the institution and community. Facilitators will lead a process of personal inventory and allow time for discussion and planning of development opportunities for field and career advancement.

Proactive Feedback Strategies in Online (and Offline) TeachingDavid Lynn Painter
Are you frustrated or overwhelmed when trying to balance punitive comments, or justifications for point deductions, with constructive criticism, or specific revision suggestions, in your evaluations of student assignments? Is listing the reasons points were deducted from student work the sole function of an effective teacher? How can instructors best manage their time to develop assignments and provide constructive criticism that fosters student learning and growth? If you find any of these questions compelling, please join our discussion on the struggle to balance objective and subjective criteria to develop positive, mentoring roles with your students.
This document provides an overview of mentor training for PCET mentors. It defines the roles of mentors and mentees, outlines the goals and benefits of mentoring, and provides guidance on the mentoring process. Key points covered include:
- Definitions of mentoring and the roles of mentors and mentees. Mentors provide support and guidance to help mentees maximize their potential.
- Benefits of being a mentor include developing coaching skills, networking, and reflecting on one's own practice. It is a form of professional development.
- Successful mentoring requires clear objectives, communication, matching mentors and mentees appropriately, and evaluating the program.
- Mentors will observe
Exploring Career Preparation Through Learning Outcomes Suzanna Farner
As part of our College Student Personnel courses we were asked to chose an aspect of our assistanships/internships and go through the process of creating learning outcomes incorporating what we had been learning about how we learn. I chose to focus on the 16 week university credit career preparation course taught by myself and other professionals in my office. This is the presentation I presented to my peers and office staff. We have used some of my suggestions to develop new course structures and approaches for spring semester 2014.

“Creating a personal mission statement
will be, without question, one of the most
powerful and significant things you will
ever do to take leadership of your life. In
it you will identify the first, most
important roles, relationships, and things
in your life -– who you want to be, what
you want to do, to whom and what you
want to give your life, the principles you
want to anchor your life to, and the
legacy you want to leave. It will be a
compass – a strong source of guidance
amid the stormy seas and pressing,
pulling currents of your life.” - Stephen

Thanks for coming
Who is in the room? -
Who works in leadership education?
Who works with student leaders, peer mentors, ambassadors etc.
Who is in career services?
Wonderful, welcome all of you and thanks again for joining us.
We at York are on a journey of creating an evidence-based theory informed leadership and career strategy and have identified it as a key student success priority for us. We are at still at the beginning of our journey but have made some huge strides this year – namely identifying the value proposition for student leadership and stitching together student leadership education with career development which currently are organized and run quite separately.
We are looking forward to sharing where we are at and hearing your feedback.
In 2013, under Vice Provost, Students Janet Morrison’s leadership, the Division of Students unveiled a 5 year strategic plan.
The plan included
a refreshed vision, mission and values to guide the division
4 student success priorities that were identified and developed with our student demographic in mind with the goal of positively impact success and retention
3 enablers to position staff and departments to do their work effectively and efficiently
And an accountability framework through the Balanced Score Card framework
We began our work on the final student success priority (Student Leadership and Career Development) this year…. This is the work that we are sharing with you to you today
The overall goal of the strategy is to create more leadership and career development opportunities for all students, and I emphasize all students.
Currently, our leadership education programing, while excellent, it serves positional student leaders and a handful of non-positional student leaders and doesn’t do a great job of encouraging the non-involved students.
Here’s the thing, while our leadership education has a significant impact on 1000 students we have 55000 students at York, most of them commute and spend less than 5 hours a week on campus outside of classroom time, they are busy, they have jobs and most of them have family commitments outside of school.
So before we could even begin building and testing a framework, we thought that we needed to ask the question “what is the value proposition for student leadership and specifically leadership education that will not only engage more students but will compel them to be involved.
Before I leave this slide, just want to make the point that we have committed to building the strategy with others not only outside leadership and career , but also outside the division of students. There really is a feeling of Whole Campus working together create a strategy here and I will talk a little more about how we did this for our pilot
We achieved two major accomplishments this past year namely:
We identified experiential learning as our theoretical lens as well as our value proposition for leadership education
We developed and piloted a 2 part series of workshops called The Leader Within” for peer leaders
I will take you through these 2 accomplishments separately
Let me just call out before you do, that we have chosen to begin with positional student leaders as a place to create and test the model….they are our low hanging fruit, we as leadership educators are used to working with this group of students. This is our start not our end.
Quite simply, we think that the value proposition for leadership and co-curricular experiences is transferable skill development.
In fact much literature on co-curricular learning, positions campus leadership experiences, such as those found in student government, peer mentorship and ambassador programs, as ones that provide a rich source of personal and professional development.
Ultimately, by reframing leadership education through the lens of experiential learning, the value to the student lies in the gain of transferrable workplace skills. Here is where we hope to engage the non engaged student that is, encourage students to invest in their skill development through involvement outside the classroom.
The value to the institution lies in an increased capacity to offer students opportunities to practice and apply their classroom learning in the real world. Just as important though, we have an opportunity to enhance the student experience and retention through increased engagement.
The experiences is bolded for a reason….experiences are central to experiential learning theory, which we have landed on as our theoretical guide….
.
Simply, Experiential Learning is learning through doing
We have adopted Kolb’s framework
Kolb’s model defines learning as “the process whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experience
importantly, the model views learning as a process vs. and outcome that needs to be acquired.
In EL, the learner is an active player vs. a passive empty vessel waiting to be filled by someone more knowledgeable….
Kolb describes learning as a cyclical process that moves through 4 phases:
Concrete experiences serve as the basis for experiential learning
Through the reflective observation phase, the learner begins to make personal sense of the experience and reflects on the experience from various perspectives
This reflections leads to abstract conceptualization, whereby the learner creates sound hypotheses, implications, and/or strategies for actions from their observations.
In the active experimentation phase, the learners are provided an opportunity to practice their hypotheses, implications and/or strategies in new experiences, which in turn itself, becomes a new concrete experience
So instead of being a cycle it is more a spiral…where knowledge builds
Before we leave the theory then…. The process of reflection and making meaning of an experience results in learning.
Our presentation….
A couple of weeks ago, we practiced our presentation. After the experience, we know that we weren’t quite there….we reflected with each other and then on our own, and each made modifications which we tested again though another practice which required more reflection and modifications and then another practice and another….each time learning and improving… until today….
In the context of a student leader then….Experiences of a student leader
Other than jumping spontaneously, unprompted, regularly what are common student leader experiences?
Planning event
Chairing a meeting
Navigating a conflict
Helping others
Managing Time
What kinds of skills do these lead to…
Communication
Time mgt
Working with others
Conflict resolution
Problem solving
And each time they have the experience they get better and better an betters at each skill
This notion of skill development in leadership experiences isn’t a novel one. I suspect that like at York, many campuses have career development sessions that help students identify their skills and accomplishments from a range of experience and articulate them in resumes, cover letters and co-curricular transcripts. What was new for us, is incorporating this kind of activity or process into leadership education.
Our vehicle for doing this was through the work of the Peer Leader Community of Practice
pan university group of ~40 staff & faculty who coordinate peer leader programs
Purpose is to share resources, leverage expertise and collaborate
PLT is an annual outcome…members collaboratively develop and deliver
Part of it’s success I think is that it’s a non-prescriptive group.. in that it values all approaches to peer leader programs….
2 part developed by student leadership and career development practitioners and delivered to 100 peer leaders during PLT 2014. They were both 90 mins long…
The Leader Within: Preparing for the experience
The Leader Within: Making meaning from the experience
The sessions were designed to facilitate deep reflection and personal meaning of experiences through a number of reflective activities.
The Sell
sense of purpose link to student development theory, and to University strategic plan. They can see themselves as a key player in that vision.
Effective peer leadership contributes to a positive student experience, campus community, and overall student success
The link to leadership
Connect mentorship to leadership for social change because they need to see themselves as leader. You have to believe, in order to achieve.
Story board, think, pair, share
Authentic self-reflection is a catalyst for change, renewal and leadership development. Instead of telling students that they are and can be leaders, we take them through an experiential reflection so they can interact with their personal milestones.
Vision, purpose, values, characteristics, personal mission statement
Articulating and committing to a personal mission statement for your role(s) can produce awesome results! They are generally excited about having a mission statement by the end of the session.
It is the dynamic interplay between self-reflection and purposeful and relational action that builds leadership capacity
Get them into the head space into doing this. This is what we did. Speak from your own exp.
Lack of confidence and esteem = parents enrolled me swimming, tennis, keyboard, French, anything to expose me to group dynamics!
Awareness of leaders “out there” like my Sensei, etc. “Other people are leaders; I am not a leader” – hard work, role modelling, entrepreuneurship, honour, discipline, and respect
Exploration: I began my a period of immersing in group experiences in grade 10:
usually because of my close friends at the time... -- having friends that were ambitious and purposeful underdogs in different forms became sub consciously important to me
I disliked bullies so I joined and ran an anti-bullying initiative (sensei) – developed an affinity towards working with slightly younger people, but in collaboration with adults.
I also joined some sports teams, council and some other things (principal) – but individual sports teams because I had a DIY attitude to help the common good.
I caught the bug “I want to be involved” to develop skills and make a difference – I fell in love involvement
Huge change in my attitude and in the way I showed up in the world
Fall-back – health, personal reasons.
Leader identified (confidence):
Starting off with a rough first few weeks in first year – picked up by a peer mentor -- combined some great student leadership experiences with some great employement at SCLD, it culminated into becoming a formal and informal peer educator (synonymous with leader, for me).
This is when I fully acknowledged my personal capacity for leadership in diverse contexts and owning my identity as a leader without having to hold a positional role (Komives, et al., 2005).
Self-belief!
Theme: Education.
Highlight the importance of self-discovery, relationships, persistence, and action. Process of becoming!
