What made you decide to undertake a tax based programme and specifically the Part of something bigger kit for your students? We needed to do a unit on Financial Literacy, this was like "manna from heaven"
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 probably look at integrating it into a cross curricular plan with the Commerce Department

How useful would you say the kit was at extending students overall financial literacy?

“I found the set easy to follow and the material well set out. I had 3 classes doing it simultaneously, which was sometimes challenging. Overall, I would recommend to my HOD that we do this unit earlier in the year. Doing it in Term 4 was not a good time as they were writing end-of-year exams, went on retreats and generally it was difficult to finish the unit. I did not finish the unit, stopped at How would you distribute tax for the country.”

What made you decide to undertake a tax based programme and specifically the Part of something bigger kit for your students? We run a Year 10 Business studies class in the second semester of the year.
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) If we were to use it again we will need to access more of the write on scratch card resources. We would like to use it again if possible in conjunction with aspects of the Real Game that was put out by Careers NZ many years ago.
