Learning, Earning, and Investing is a comprehensive investor education curriculum used by educators to teach the ins-and-outs of long-term saving and investing. The curriculum includes 23 lessons that take a critical look at investment opportunities – mutual funds, stocks, bonds, and more – and uncovers strategies for building lasting wealth and financial security. Each lesson introduces key investment concepts and then reinforces them with engaging hands-on activities and simulations.
Virtual Economics is an interactive tool on CD-ROM that helps educators understand the most important concepts in personal finance and economics and assists them in finding the right lessons for their students and clients. The CD-ROM has a searchable database of over 1,200 lessons from leading economics and personal finance curricula. It also includes demonstrations of key economic and personal finance principles and a glossary of key terms.
These online trainings are made possible through a partnership with University of Illinois Extension and a generous grant from the Council for Economic Education, the Moody's Foundation, State Farm, and the United States Department of Education Office of Innovation and Improvement.
