In this episode, we talk to Peter Muir of Melbourne, Australia. Peter is currently an MYP coordinator but he also has extensive experience with CAS - that’s Creativity, Activity, Service - a key component of the Diploma Programme core.

We focus on the role of CAS in developing the Diploma student’s awareness of themselves beyond their academic capabilities and more on developing those characteristics which will make them lifelong contributors to a better and more peaceful world. Even if you don’t work with the Diploma Programme you will hear the key role CAS plays in the final development of IB students.

By the way, we have created a webpage for this podcast which organizes all of our 35 episodes by topic and by programme so they can be more easily located. please use the link in the podcast notes to find the website.

Peter referenced a textbook he had a part in developing. Here is a link to that book from Cambridge Press.

Please find all our episodes by visiting the new IB Matters webpage. We have all the episodes arranged by topic and/or Programme.
