“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 did you find the most useful in supporting you to teach financial literacy and why? As mentioned above - infographics on national tax spend and where the money goes in each category.

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.”

What made you decide to undertake a tax based programme and specifically the Part of something bigger kit for your students? I was looking at social studies and financial literacy for Year 9 and 10 stduents.
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 integrate this unit into other units of work working with other teachers to be able to use the resource to its fullest capacity.

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 probably wouldn't get this one again as it doesn't quiet suit our needs at this time

“We orginially ordered the kit thinking it could be useful for our senior students and looking at finacial literacy duirng our wananga time, as we have been looking at different life skills. Once the box arrived it wasn't quiet what we expected and we weren't able to use to the full extend that we intended. The resources themselves were fab and clearly a lot of time and thought had gone into it but it didn't quiet fit the bill for us for that particular area we wanted it to.”

What made you decide to undertake a tax based programme and specifically the Part of something bigger kit for your students? the government deciding we needed to teach more financial literacy in social studies
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) most likely as a full unit or at least into a financial literacy unit.

What made you decide to undertake a tax based programme and specifically the Part of something bigger kit for your students? Relevant to their own life experiences
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 would possibly be more cross curricular if we did this again. We taught it as a stand alone unit this year.
