I am contacting ACT members hoping to identify an education specialist that would like to come on board the project I'm working on.
It is called Finance for Citizens (www.financeforcitizens.org.uk) and is focussed on national financial issues, with a particular emphasis on monetary reform and taxation reform. The material is targeted at the uninitiated and is kept as simple as possible and as such it should be suitable as reference material for Key Stage 4 pupils being taught under what ACT refers to as the Citizenship for Change model. I imagine that there is also the potential for it to be used at Key Stage 5.
My next task is to build some formal lesson plans/guidance around this material but this needs the involvement of an expert, hence my getting in touch with ACT. Ideally, I would like to find someone who can become the project's resident named education specialist. The organisation has no revenues so there would be no pay, but I would hope that involvement in the project would be regarded as beneficial on a CV.
I'm keen to hear back from people as soon as possible. I shall be in London between the 20th and 26th of September and I'm keen to make use of this time to meet with people that are interested in getting involved.
