A teaching sequence
Record strand progress, Extended Essay supervision meetings, CAS activity and follow-up using the supplied school programme version and calendar.
Confirm and record the milestone
Choose a strand and record its current milestone, evidence and agreed next action. Check formal requirements against the current approved handbook.
Which current handbook and calendar support this strand's next step?
Record the essay meeting
For an Extended Essay meeting, record date, discussion topic, student action and next meeting.
Who owns the agreed action, and when is the next meeting?
Log the CAS activity
For CAS, select the relevant strand or strands and record the activity and hours.
Which strand or strands fit the recorded activity?
Before you teach
Look for the thinking behind an answer, choose the support your class needs and leave room for an independent response.
What to look for
Each supervision entry has a meeting date, discussion, next step and next meeting date. A blank or planned date does not prove completion.
Give a little support
Use the programme version and school calendar supplied by the current coordinator.
Take the idea further
Compare each action with the current school handbook and add the approved requirement reference.
Things to keep in mind
Hold formal use until the current programme version and school calendar are confirmed. This record is not a statement of programme requirements.

Quietly Curious
The three-page shared record includes programme version, school year and review date, then separates TOK, Extended Essay and CAS progress from EE supervision and CAS activity logs. Each strand also has an owner and follow-up date.
Clear Example
The version and calendar fields address which programme and school timeline the record follows. Its page-specific instructions point staff and students to the current approved handbook and calendar for formal milestones and dates.
Pencil Case Pal
A student and mentor can capture a meeting topic, agreed next step, student action and next meeting date without relying on memory later. The strand field lets the record follow a specific line of work.
Notes Between Bells
This document records discussion and progress; it does not validate an official milestone or deadline by itself. Confirm dates and requirements against the current approved handbook and school calendar before using the record as a status report.
