What made you decide to undertake a tax based programme and specifically the Part of something bigger kit for your students? I am teaching a new financial literacy course for Y9 students so wanted something that was simple, interesting, and relevant.
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) Integrating it into other lessons - picking and choosing my favourite bits with other units.

“I love teaching students about tax - it is such an important part of their lives and yet they know so little about it. The diagrams were great and it sparked some really interesting comments from the classes I did it with.”

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) Would need to allocate more time and I quite like the idea of a full day of learning.

What made you decide to undertake a tax based programme and specifically the Part of something bigger kit for your students? The school kit was a valuable resource for connecting students to the Year 11 Commerce programme. It built confidence in using financial language and was an excellent intro between junior social studies and senior commerce.
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) It worked well as a separate unit.

“The kit was an excellent tool for teaching Year 10 students about tax. It was engaging, easy to use, and made a the topic clear and relatable. Students enjoyed the hands-on activities, and it sparked great class discussion. Highly recommended!”

What made you decide to undertake a tax based programme and specifically the Part of something bigger kit for your students? I was already teaching tax. This resource added to my resources.
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 part of a unit combined with my existing resources from other sources.

“The kit was amazing - the students loved filling in the payslip and creating a character. The clips etc were good for the kids to watch. The part that became difficult and this may be because we are heading towards the end of the term, was that when it came to building their own tax spend as a staff, the students found it hard to connect their 'character' to reality. I could see this coming so adapted the lesson half way through to give a better understanding of the reality of the tax system.”
