What's Inside
- The only personal finance site featuring:
- Customizable stock game
- Customizable personal budgeting simulation
- Customizable embedded curriculum
- Built-In Assessments
How It Works
Teachers create a customizable, real-time stock market game that fits their class schedule. Then teachers setup a personal budgeting simulation with real-world events that teachers real-life skills. AND teachers create embedded lessons and assignments from our integrated Personal Finance, Economics, and Business curriculum. Teachers choose the curriculum they want their students to complete, and every time their students log into to check on their stock portfolio they are prompted to access the lessons and take “pop-quizzes” in order to progress through the required activities.
Our Mission
Personal Finance, Economics, and Business should be the most exciting topics at any school, but too many students are getting left behind. Personal Finance Lab gives teachers the tools they need to transform their classroom into a 21st century laboratory for learning.
Uplift every student by blending the excitement of the financial markets with concrete exercises and examples, all tied together in a way that is accessible for every student.
