Help your students or yourself become the “Millionaire Next Door.” At the end of this course you will leave with an organized binder full of practical, hands-on material to use in the classroom immediately. A disk with simulations, cases, and other materials will also be available. Subjects such as a 401(k), Roth IRAs, Mutual Funds, Teacher Retirement System, TSA, How Stocks Work, The New York Stock Exchange, Federal Reserve, Planning for Retirement, and class participant-driven content will be covered.

Come and learn about the most important (and under taught) content of the new economy – Personal Finance and Retirement Planning. A former commodities trader (now teacher) will draw on his personal experiences such as a week at the New York Stock Exchange. Lessons that have received recognition from the Wisconsin Council on Economics twice in three years will also be shared. Extensive use of the Internet will aid in the delivery of content. There is a wealth of information out there; this course will package it for your classroom – and teach you at the same time!

Content is geared for 7-12 Business, Social Studies, or Economics teachers. However, this workshop would be very useful for your personal financial planning as well.

Come see why other teachers say: “Millionaire should be offered every year.”
