High School Personal Finance Labs

Stock-Trak Announces Launch of PersonalFinanceLab.com that offers an Online High School Personal Finance Lab.  There is a new trend sweeping through magnet schools, CTE programs, and business academies.  Many of these schools and programs across the country are converting their ordinary classrooms into an exciting and engaging learning environment called a “Personal Finance Lab.”
 
“High schools have Biology lab. Why don’t they have Personal Finance labs?” is the new rallying cry of Mark Brookshire, Founder, and CEO of Stock-Trak Inc.  “Every student will one day have a job, pay taxes, live on a budget, need insurance, use a credit card, and save and invest for retirement. Let’s get students excited to learn about financial literacy.  Let’s teach these subjects in an exciting and engaging classroom setting that makes them want to learn.”
 
Mr. Brookshire has been travelling around the country attending various educational conferences promoting his vision for high school Personal Finance Labs using the financial literacy lesson plans available on PersonalFinanceLab.com.  His idea for these Personal Finance Labs includes scrolling stock tickers, LCD screens, educational wall posters and a stock market simulation with built-in curriculum from www.PersonalFinanceLab.com.  “The scrolling stock tickers and the LCD screens that display current stock prices and headline news provide the classroom with that exciting Wall Street feel, and the curriculum and stock simulation of our PersonalFinanceLab.com website provide an engaging learning experience that pulls it all together,” Mr. Brookshire says.
 
Stock-Trak is the leading provider of educational stock market simulations to the high school and college market.  While many universities have built “trading rooms” and use one of Stock-Trak’s virtual trading applications to help teach the Investments and Portfolio Management classes, very few high schools had moved in that direction.  But with the growing emphasis on high school financial literacy classes in many states, Stock-Trak has seen a dramatic increase in high schools using its virtual trading sites (HowTheMarketWorks.com, NationalSMS.com) for Personal Finance, Economics, Business and Social Studies classes. 
 
“Over the last few years, more and more teachers have been asking us to integrate Economics, Business, and Personal Finance Curriculum into our virtual trading site.  And they have also been asking how they can get the students more excited about such an important topic” says Mr. Brookshire.  “That’s how our Personal Finance Lab concept was conceived and then we designed our newest website, www.PersonalFinanceLab.com, to fill the void and address that need.”
