The Colorado Council on Economic Education is proud to announce that we are the new sponsor of the Colorado Stock Market Game! |
Teacher training workshops are for first-time or novice SMG teachers. Workshop includes interactive curriculum lessons, stock market basics, handouts, and hands-on computer lab sessions. Teachers learn how to access the SMG’s Teacher Support Center of online curricula, lesson planning, tutorials, and assessments; how to access and manage student portfolios.
