As a former Stock Market Analyst and certified Business Education Teacher,  I love teaching Stock Marketing Investing!  My experience in the industry gives me a deep knowledge of stock analysis and the process of buying and selling stocks.   My students always enjoy playing the Stock Market Simulation and competing with me along with their classmates.   This introduction to the stock market class is fun and engaging and will get students excited to learn more.  Investing responsibly in the stock market is the best way to build wealth over the long term.  It is so important to start young and that's why it's critical for students to learn how invest responsibly now, BEFORE they risk real money.   

Based on my extensive experience teaching this subject, I know how to make it interesting and memorable.  I use video clips and engaging handouts to make the content  easy to understand and remember.  This class is interactive, not lecture based, so students will have the opportunity to discuss, share experiences, and ask questions.  I will help students discover how current events effect stock prices so they are more interested the world around them.

I will use a financial website, Yahoo Finance, to show students in real time how stock prices change and why investing in Amazon stock 10 years ago has made many people millionaires today!!
