“I liked the resources that were in this kit and that everything you needed was available to you, but unfortunately it didn't work out for our school as we have a Financial Literacy class on rotation for homerooms, and we only have each class for 7 weeks, so it just didn't fit in and suit to the timeframe that we had and what we needed to cover.”

What made you decide to undertake a tax based programme and specifically the Part of something bigger kit for your students? Our students have life experience but were struggling to see the relevance of numeracy skills to their lives - this made it clear

“We have had a dedicated course for teaching core numeracy skills to senior secondary students who are more than 2 years below their expected curriculum level. This kit was awesome for helping them to see the usefulness of the number skills we were trying to teach them”

What made you decide to undertake a tax based programme and specifically the Part of something bigger kit for your students? We were trialling how financial literacy could look in our junior social sciences programme.
If you were to re use this resource in the future, how would you see yourself doing this? (Eg, as a full unit, separately in other units of work, integrating into cross curricular lesson plans) I would see us reusing the physical resources to enhance our programmes

What made you decide to undertake a tax based programme and specifically the Part of something bigger kit for your students? We wanted to add tax to out existing unit.
If you were to re use this resource in the future, how would you see yourself doing this? (Eg, as a full unit, separately in other units of work, integrating into cross curricular lesson plans) We have developed our own resources around tax that do not require fidly bits.

“We did not end up using the kit as there were too many bits and pieces (of material resources)to manage and we did not have time to work out how to use it. We have several social studies classes and it would have been a nightmare to ensure the kit was complete between classes. Our boys are really rough on resources and they would have destroyed the kit fairly quickly. This does not mean it would not be an effective resource at another school. It just does not suit our students. Managing these resources would be stressfull for our teachers and we are looking for resources that help our teacher manage workload not increase it.”
