Master Teacher In Economics Program The Master Teacher in Economics Program is an intense professional development program offered in collaboration with the Mississippi Department of Education to provide professional development to teachers in economics and financial education. Mississippi needs 400 Master Teachers in Economics to implement the new state mandated graduation requirements in economics that go into effect with the class entering high school in 2008.

Mississippi Stock Market Game
click on the above graphic to register for a workshop The Mississippi Stock Market Game (SMG) is a simulation of a real market, designed to involve students in the world of finance and investing as a means of helping them learn about how a market economy works. Student teams of 3 to 5 students invest a hypothetical $100,000 in stocks and compete for the best portfolio performance. There are two separate ten-week programs each year; one in the Fall and one in the Spring.
The program is available to all public and
private students throughout the state of
Mississippi in grades 4 through 12. The program
is adaptable for many different classes,
including social studies, mathematics,
economics, business, technology, gifted, and
club activities. Students learn to develop team
strategies, make decisions, and become informed
about investment and economic terms. They also
learn to see the connection between world events
and their investments. Fall Trading Dates: September 8, 2009 - December 18, 2009
