FREE TEACHER TRAINING WORKSHOP
FOR 4-12 GRADE TEACHERS

Saturday, September 6 – Aurora, Colorado

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.

This workshop is great for teachers who are highly interested in the SMG but not certain about enrolling.

Teachers will also receive SMG’s correlation to Colorado Performance-Based Standards in 4 core academic subjects: Economics, English Language Arts, Mathematics and Social Studies.

Interdisciplinary benefits of teaching the SMG:

All participants at SMG workshops receive resource materials and information on InvestWrite, the language arts component of the SMG program – an essay competition in which students and teachers can win laptop computers and trips!

 Have you ever looked at your Promethean whiteboard and wondered, “This is pretty cool… but what else can I do?”

If so (or if not), Atomic Learning is a phenomenal resource for you to use. You can access it through One Place. Check out this great Atomic Learning Tutorial that Kevin created.

This is the best video I’ve ever seen on using a computer, projector and camera for creating classroom presentations that are engaging. Dan Meyer does a great job of illustrating why he uses this technology and how we can too. Check it out!
