What made you decide to undertake a tax based programme and specifically the Part of something bigger kit for your students? I wanted my aakonga to see how an individuals job can make a huge contribution to a community. The real life example of a supermarket allowed them to connect with the roles and jobs because they have an idea of how a supermarket works.
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 incorporated the resources into a unit I had, next time around I’d probably use it in a unit based around the use of systems.

Which part/s of the kit did you find the most useful in supporting you to teach financial literacy and why? The charts with the breakdown of the areas of government spending. We had to spend some time unpacking some of the names. Most aakonga had some knowledge of government spending, others were introduced to new knowledge.

“My aakonga loved the idea of being employed and getting to experience real life things like having a job title. They were able to make connections between the role each member played in the team but found themselves wanting to only be a Manager, or CEO as they were seen to be the top jobs. They found it difficult when they realised there was hierarchical system in play that meant that some workers were less likely to be hired when they believed they had the potential. They also realised that a persons social circumstances has a huge impact on what they can afford, or ultimately access.”

What made you decide to undertake a tax based programme and specifically the Part of something bigger kit for your students? It suited an Enterprise/Commerce course, and it's always good to try new resources (especially free ones) at least once.
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) As a full unit as part of the Enterprise/Commerce course. A great way to see the bigger picture of the economy, and understand the purpose of tax.

“Easy to use, great looking resources with digital and physical versions available too, giving flexibility in how they could be used. Easy to follow and use. The biggest benefit was how engaged the students were in the process. They particularly enjoyed creating identities. It was a fun and realistic way to become familiar with our tax system.”

What made you decide to undertake a tax based programme and specifically the Part of something bigger kit for your students? Wanted to see if in term 4 we could do something a bit different with them. Unfortunately we ran out of time to give this a good go and not sure if timing is right so will reassess if and when we try something like this again.
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) Integrate it with other work picking out some sections works better.

“Thank you for providing the school kit. I appreciate the effort that has gone into developing this resource. While I found a couple of the items useful, overall, the kit didn’t fully align with what I was looking for to support my current program. At this stage, I’ve decided not to incorporate it into my plans. Additionally, I found the volume of emails regarding the kit to be a bit overwhelming. Streamlining communication might make it easier for to engage with the materials.”

What made you decide to undertake a tax based programme and specifically the Part of something bigger kit for your students? As part of my numeracy class we have been looking into understanding 'maths' in the real world.

What made you decide to undertake a tax based programme and specifically the Part of something bigger kit for your students? I have had a focus on Financial Capabilities in the curriculum, and this worked very well alongside our online learning platforms, such as Moneytime.
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 teach this unit across the whole year. Doing certain areas throughout, such as Tax and payslips.

“I have enjoyed teaching this kit alongside the Financial Capabilities in mathematics. This hands on kit has ensured my students can relate to their 'worker' who they created, and use them as a way to learn about tax in the real world.”
