CAS practice: Evaluate service needs, reciprocity, and dignity

A student is evaluating the service quality of "running an after-school language exchange for newly arrived students" with the EAL coordinator and two student mentors. Choose the route that starts from partner need and protects dignity, autonomy, and reciprocity. Select the service need focus, partner voice evidence, reciprocity move, and service boundary. Then answer this in your own words: why would this route keep the CAS evidence and reflection authentic? AI will analyse your reasoning, evidence, reflection quality, and expression.

Worked practice: build the reflection

Work through the CAS task: purpose focus, specific evidence, the CAS move, then a bounded reflection.
