NYSE Euronext Teachers’ Workshop Fellowships – Application Deadline Extended to May 10

NYSE Euronext and the SEC’s Office of Investor Education and Advocacy offer professional development programs to help educators teach students about the financial marketplace and its importance in their lives and the global economy.  The training sessions feature lecture-discussion sessions, hands-on activities, and field trips. The 5-day Teachers’ Workshop at the NYSE provides educators with an understanding of the capital-raising process and the NYSE trading platforms, and increases teachers’ ability to include the financial markets across curriculum disciplines.  Two Graduate Programs are offered for educators who have previously completed the NYSE Teachers’ Workshop.  The SEC Graduate Program, held in Washington DC, is designed to enhance understanding of the securities markets.  The NYSE Graduate Program increases teacher understanding of complex market activities.   Post-baccalaureate academic credit is available to teachers who successfully complete the Workshop from St. Francis College.   NYSE Euronext offers a limited number of fellowships to help deserving teachers from under-resourced schools attend one of the 2013 Teachers’ Workshop programs at the New York Stock Exchange.  The fellowships will defray travel expenses for high performing teachers to participate in either the 5-day Teachers’ Workshop or the 4-day NYSE Graduate Program.
