“I didn't use the kit as I didn't order it until half way through the year and I was wanting to use it for my senior financial literacy classes. By the time I had received it we were working on a different topic but I am wanting to use it next year for one of the my senior classes that are a lower level numeracy so being able to understand how tax works etc would be really helpful for them.”

What made you decide to undertake a tax based programme and specifically the Part of something bigger kit for your students? My head of department had been wanting to join the group. and I am currently the only one teaching yr 9 so I had the opportunity to take the lead in the introduction of this within our school.
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) Potentially it could be seperate it out in to relating topics along side other units of work.

Which part/s of the kit did you find the most useful in supporting you to teach financial literacy and why? big list of tax - helpful to expand on what you have base knowledge in but amazing the things you don't really think about.

Which part/s of the kit grabbed the attention of your students and engaged them the most? As I picked this up quite late in the year we haven't had the chance to complete all the aspects. The students enjoyed collecting the information to build a character profile. and perhaps gave them insight to how real world situations exist for people.

“It is a great resource and a deep dive into the tax system. It can be a bit tricky to navigate at first. As someone very new to this subject area, it may have been less intuitive for me. It was frustrating at times trying to load any helpful information to my Google Classroom. Things that were useful for the kids to be able to refer to, like the big list of tax and the coloured star system, so that they knew where to find the info to fill in the profile. It may be my lack of tech knowledge, but the platform didn't allow me to transfer information over, unlike the Banqer platform.”
