Description
This interactive two‑hour session gives educators a complete, ready‑to‑teach lesson on investing, real estate, and wealth building for grades 6–12. You’ll move through the lesson as students do — comparing different investment options, busting common money myths, running compound‑interest calculations, and making portfolio choices in a simulated market. Then we’ll step back to unpack the teaching moves, differentiation strategies, and real‑world connections that make the lesson work. Three reasons to attend 1) Teacher confidence: Walk away knowing exactly how to teach investing and real estate, with a complete, standards‑aligned lesson and the confidence to use it. 2) Make investing accessible: Learn culturally responsive strategies that connect wealth‑building concepts to students’ real lives, especially those from communities historically excluded from financial markets. 3) Bring the market to life: Experience an interactive simulation that demystifies investing for students who think “the market” isn’t for them.
