What is it? TASC stands for Thinking Actively in a Social Context. TASC Wheel: copyright Belle Wallace (2000)
TASC & BLOOMS TAXONOMY How does it work? TASC runs alongside BLOOM’S taxonomy and scientific method. It gives children a clear process to follow when investigating or problem solving. Children use lower and higher order thinking skills. They experience more of the thought process, therefore have greater ownership of the task in hand. TASC Wheel: copyright Belle Wallace (2000)
