Introduction to the Stock Market Game™. Now more than ever, schools are looking for ways to meet higher education standards while working within tighter budgets. To meet this challenge, schools are seeking more effective educational tools that both motivate students and support teachers in building lifelong learning skills. One tool that meets these requirements in an innovative yet time tested way is The Stock Market Game™ program. Since 1977, the program has given educators a way to improve the learning experience in thousands of classrooms. Teachers have successfully used The Stock Market Game™ program to enliven core academic subjects — including Math, Social Studies, and Language Arts — and research has shown there's no better way to learn the importance of saving and investing. The Stock Market Game™ program offers a vast library of learning materials correlated to national voluntary and state educational standards in Math, Business Education, Economics, English/Language Arts, Technology, Social Studies and Family and Consumer Sciences. This resource has inspired many teachers to incorporate the program into classes in creative ways — at all levels, from fourth grade to college, all across the curriculum. Funding for this program is through the generous support of Fidelity Financial, State Farm Insurance, Fifth Third Bank, and the SIFMA Foundation. Register by clicking on the date of interest!
