Using the TASC Wheel in one-day-a-week class for gifted students: Project Art

Abstract

We work as teachers in one-day-a-week classes for gifted elementary school students in the Netherlands. The classes are centred on themes that last about 8 weeks. Twice a year, the students work on a project using the TASC Wheel to systematically gain more knowledge on the subject as well as to practise their executive skills. As an example of good practice, we here describe the Art project that we have recently worked on with one of our groups containing 13 gifted students aged 10–12 years who attend one full day class a week.
