Wellbeing program
James (Teacher
This course is great for our school's well being program. It allows me, as the teacher, to control the pace and keep everyone on task, but also gives flexibility with the extra activities. The other aspect I like is that I can choose to include other topics in other courses to suit the kids. Love the flexibility.
Business and entrepreneurship
Will (Teacher)
I couldn't use all of this course in any one business unit, but I can still use bits and pieces. The plan is to take 10 minutes off a lesson every week to showcase a course topic that links to what we are doing. By doing this, I am hoping to expand my students' repertoire of associated skills. I also like the fact that every topic has a financial literacy aspect. Woohoo! About time!
Literacy that's real
Toni
The literacies involved in doing these courses are real and authentic. I will be integrating my literature and literacy work with the content of this course, because it will relate to the lives of my students.
Youth group
Matt
I work with kids who don't quite fit into everyday schooling, yet they need these skills and they need my guidance when learning about them. Its great to have such a variety of topics in each of these courses and that I also get access to facilitator notes to support my implementation.
Parents helping their teens
Di
I know this is more suitable for a school or some other setting, but this is a great resource for a parent to sit with their teenager at home and talk about financial concepts. I will enjoy it, and I think my son will too. He would feel safer doing this with me, than others at this point. The best part is that there are so many youth stories woven into these resources. That makes it relevant to Sam.
Life Skills
Manual
This is very unfamiliar for me. My teaching area is Science. I do life skills once a week with my pastoral care group. I love that everything is here ready for me - the course, the resources, the extra activities, the teacher notes, the links. Easy!
