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.”

“Unfortunately the content of this well produced kit is beyond the majority of our learners at this age. It required considerable modifications and proved to be a time consuming task for an already overloaded teacher. I'm sure at the right establishment and pitched at the right ability group it will be well received. Thank you for all your effort.”

What made you decide to undertake a tax based programme and specifically the Part of something bigger kit for your students? We have a Financial Literacy course at Y9 and Y10, so it seemed to fit nicely into our small unit on personal Finances.
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 don't use Kits as full unit plans, but I jump in and out of activities that I view as useful. It would be resources that I use to further student learning, not complete lessons I use.

Which part/s of the kit grabbed the attention of your students and engaged them the most? As abov. The supermarket interactive activity with the made up scenarios was a little confusing. This might need to be streamlined, or broken down into empty categories so that students can choose their own ideas, but understand each part. Unsure - it just didn't achieve what it wanted to.

“Ther Part of Something Bigger kit had several uses and created several valuable deiscussions / insights into the world of personal finances and tax usage. I really like dthe large Visual Infographics - particuarly the charts showing how much of the national spend is in each categoruy, as well as the vertical banner that showed the categories each 'sector' of the tax spend covers. These visuals painted an exhaustive pciture for students of what they actually get, and why it is so hard for the Govt to choose where to spend.”
