Although not a prerequisite, learners can take Introduction to the Stock Market (Ages 10 to 14) https://outschool.com/classes/introduction-to-the-stock-market-TCrB15hy Note: Learners can also enroll in my Introduction to Stock Investing multi-day class (Ages 10 to 14) which includes Introduction to the Stock Market in session 1, Stock Investing: Understanding Stock Information in session 2, Stock Investing: Understanding Risk in session 3, and Stock Investing: Understanding Investing Styles in session 4. Here is the class link: https://outschool.com/classes/introduction-to-stock-investing-0wAGuZDy ************************************************************************************* In the Stock Investing: Understanding Stock Information class, learners will explore the following topics: • Stock Tickers • Stock Statistics • Placing a Trade • Reading a Stock Chart • Discovering What Moves Stock Prices I will teach using lesson slides and frequently introduce questions to reinforce learner knowledge and critical thinking. There will be a case study to illustrate how to read and interpret stock movements. Although a segment of investors relies on charts and technical analysis to make their investing decisions, the case study and class provide several perspectives. My teaching philosophy is to help learners understand why the information is important and how it can be used (sometimes in multiple ways). With the knowledge from this class, learners are better prepared to research stocks and continue their studies in stock investing. Learners will benefit from my extensive working experience and educational background in the financial industry. You can find this information under the teacher expertise section below or on my profile page. I will provide my lesson slides (includes discussion answers and a detailed glossary) after class to help learners keep their newfound knowledge. Learners will maximize their classroom experience by coming to class ready to ask questions, discuss topics, and engage in learning without distractions. A list of my Outschool classes is available towards the end of both my course and teacher intro videos. The next class is Stock Investing: Understanding Risk (Ages 10 to 14) https://outschool.com/classes/stock-investing-understanding-risk-euujcDnn
