Office Hours: Teachers Questions Answered

In this special office-hours session, Albert and I answer the questions teachers have been sending in across our four NGPF classroom sessions — more than 500 educators strong.

We move fast and cover a lot of ground:

1. How a young person can open a first investment account (and why $1 is all it takes to start at Fidelity) 02:36
2. My favorite books on saving, investing and index funds 10:58
3. The best free websites and videos for teachers and students 12:51
4. How to make inflation real in the classroom — yes, the bubble-gum story 19:19
5. Why asset classes like small-cap value and large-cap growth behave so differently 25:15
6. A live walk-through of Morningstar’s style boxes and the chart function 34:45
7. Advice for reaching first-generation and lower-income students 47:24
8. What would be the job to suggest to a middle schooler to get them more interested in math and economics?

Whether you teach this material or you’re just getting started yourself, I think you’ll find something here you can put to use.
