### **CAS Coordinator**

The **CAS coordinator** is the teacher in charge of your schools CAS programme. They will help you to find suitable CAS experiences within your school or community, and are **responsible for the overall organisation of the programme**. They also decide:

1. If your proposal is a suitable CAS experience or project. :grin: 
2. If you have met the requirements of CAS to gain your IB diploma. :woman\_student: 

### **CAS Advisor**

In some schools, especially those with lots of students, the CAS coordinator is assisted by a team of **CAS advisors**. These members of staff **support, monitor and advise students** on their CAS portfolio.

### **CAS Supervisor**

The **CAS supervisor** is a person who **supervises a CAS experience or a project** for a student. This may be a coach, a teacher or another adult. You may not require a CAS supervisor if you are initiating your own activities. These adults are useful to guide you in a specific experience and to help you set goals and comment on your progress.

The IB does **not** require you to have a supervisor. You are trusted to undertake your own activities. However, you may like to have one, or your school may need you to have one for another reason.
