Comments made by teachers at the end of a whole school TASC research project
• ‘The children researched and worked with such enthusiasm’
• ‘We became aware that some children needed more structure and guidance at first because they were not used to working in such an open ended way. We needed to assess the degree of structure necessary and the withdraw the support as they became more confident’.
• ‘The TASC wheel gives the children a structure for the different stages of their thinking. It is flexible, sometimes we use the whole wheel, sometimes one part when there is a need’.
TASC is just one tool that can support schools to develop enquiry based learning.
