Stock Market Game Week in Review

The workshops are offered free of charge to participants every summer. Participants pay for travel and lodging. There are five five-day workshops available this summer, and we will provide registration information in next week's Week in Review.

You may also be interested in sharing the final Spring 2009 issue of In the News with your students. This issue completes this semester's series on volatility and the business cycle. In "Driving with Stocks and Bonds," we examine the usefulness of the bond market and the stock market as economic indicators. This issue and the two before it work well as introductions to both the "Volatility" and "Business Cycle" projects.

To access the current and past issues of the In the News newsletters, please click the "Publications" link in the In the Classroom section of the Teacher Support Center. Both projects are available through the "Projects" link in the same section.

For those of you who were unable to participate in our inaugural set of National Teacher Webinars during Financial Literacy month ("Volatility: Teaching About the Ups and Downs with SMG" and "What Goes Around: Teaching Business Cycles with SMG"), we have made them available here. Be sure to check them out.
