This Teacher Guide is designed to answer the typical questions of teachers who are using the SMG for the first time and "...don't know where or how to begin".

We will guide you through the steps of preparing your students, as they begin their research and building their portfolios. This guide also includes tips from teachers all across the U.S. with strategies they've found most successful in integrating the simulation into the classroom. 

The next section in the Teacher Support Center, Understanding Portfolios, will walk you through pages of a portfolio, including how to enter a trade, and using the Investor Research links.

In the Lesson Planning link, you will find a

  • suggested syllabus,
  • educational articles to introduce concepts (for yourself and students) and
  • links to lessons to teach and reinforce concepts about stocks, markets, investing strategies, and more.
