The Ultimate CAS Reflection Toolkit -Reflection Workbook and Activities

Help Students Move Beyond Description and Write Meaningful CAS Reflections

Perfect for CAS induction lessons, reflection workshops, tutor sessions, portfolio development, and ongoing CAS support throughout the Diploma Programme.

I have just paid for the CAS bundle and although the resources are helpful and detailed, I thought that there would be some posters alongside the activity resources as great visuals are really useful in school.
