Financial Longevity: Retirement Readiness for Teachers

Description: Enhancing the financial confidence of teachers not only cultivates personal happiness but also amplifies productivity both in their personal lives and within the classroom. Our upcoming workshop aims to provide teachers with a dedicated space to conduct a comprehensive financial well-being and retirement assessment. During this session, participants will have the opportunity to establish clear financial goals and map out actionable strategies to achieve them. Through hands-on exercises, we will craft personalized retirement budgets and delve into essential techniques for long-term money management. Additionally, we will explore fundamental principles of estate planning and engage in discussions centered around embracing life to the fullest. Following the workshop, participants can opt for ongoing financial coaching to further support their journey towards financial empowerment and fulfillment.

Stock Market Game (ONLINE!)

Description: The Mississippi Stock Market Game (SMG) is a simulation of a real market, designed to involve students in the world of finance and investing as a means of helping them learn about how a market economy works. Student teams of 3 to 5 students invest a hypothetical $100,000 in stocks and compete for the best portfolio performance. There are two separate 13-week programs each year; one in the Fall and one in the Spring.

The program is available to all public and private students throughout the state of Mississippi in grades 4 through 12. The program is adaptable for many different classes, including social studies, mathematics, economics, business, technology, gifted, MOD, Special Education, and club activities. Students learn to develop team strategies, make decisions, and become informed about investment and economic terms. They also learn to see the connection between world events and their investments.

In this ONLINE ON-DEMAND teacher training, learn how to implement the SMG in your classroom! (Takes about 5 hours to complete.)
