For MYP coordinators who track Community Engagement progress and share reports with students and parents.
ManageBac+ now uses Community Engagement in place of Service as Action (SA) for MYP. Some screenshots and labels in this guide still show the old name, and year groups set up before the change may still show Service as Action or SA. The steps are the same. See Service as Action and Service Learning are now Community Engagement.
Moving existing year groups to Community Engagement: year groups already using Service as Action keep the old setup until they are migrated. Migration means matching existing learning outcomes and hours to the new Community Engagement setup, and some of this data may not carry across, so it works best at the start of an academic year, before students add new activities. Submit a request and we will help you plan the move.
