Investing in the Stock Market

Students will build an in-depth understanding of the Stock Market, Stocks, and the ins-and-outs of Stock Trading to help them grow into informed and savvy investors.

I have a Master of Business Administration.  I have 3 years of experience teaching business, economics, and finance classes at the Junior/Career college level, in addition to 3 years of classroom experience teaching middle and high school students, and 1 year of experience as an elementary & middle school principal.    Finally, I have 4 four years experience as a National Football League Players Association Certified Contract Advisor, during which time I negotiated contracts, as well as helped to educate my clients as to the proper ways to prepare themselves for financial independence after their sports careers had ended.  It is this same passion to help young people build financial security and freedom that I enables me to guide students.

There will be about 1-2 hours of outside homework required of students each week, in order to research their investments for the stock market simulation.

There will be no formal assessment or grade for this class, unless requested by the parents.

45 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.

Students will use the "Wall Street Survivors" free stock market simulation that will be set up for this class to participate in the stock market simulation.
