With this comprehensive investment education curriculum, you'll introduce your students to the ins-and-outs of long-term investing. They'll take a critical look at investment opportunities – mutual funds, stocks, bonds, and more – and uncover strategies for building lasting wealth.

Wealth Building in Your Classroom: Activity-based Lessons Are the Secret
After introducing key concepts, you'll reinforce them with engaging hands-on activities: simulations, role-playing, even a "financial bee". By providing a realistic connection to the market economy, your students will quickly master 4 essential themes:

#1: The Basics

  • Should your students save?
  • What Is a Stock? Bond? Mutual Fund?
  • How do your students buy and sell securities?
  • #2: The Markets

  • What is a stock market?
  • What role do financial institutions play in the economy… and your students' lives?
  • Do your students understand the "language" of the markets?
  • #3: Financial Planning

  • How do your students build long-term wealth?
  • Should your students use credit?
  • What are the best ways to research companies
  • #4: The Markets & the Economy

  • How are stock prices determined?
  • What role does government play in the market?
  • Can your student forecast the future?
  • A Great Supplement to Your Stock Market Simulations
    These lesson plans are priceless if you're using the Stock Market Game™ or Stock Market Simulation™,. You'll turn to "Learning, Earning and Investing" year-after-year to present key background material that gives your students a deeper appreciation of the Stock Market Simulations.

Learning, Earning and Investing has done the difficult job of sifting through tons of information on investing and presenting just the important, practical content. The lessons offer easy, hands on activities that get students involved. Plus, the activities build the background knowledge necessary for students to connect with new, more difficult content. Thank You!"
