Invest ND Teachers Academy

"Celebrating 15 years of Finance Education"

The ND Securities Department annually sponsors the Invest North Dakota Teachers Academy, a valuable experience for all North Dakota teachers and administrators from elementary through high school. Invest North Dakota is a 4-day workshop designed to assist teachers in presenting personal finance in the classroom.

HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS: As a result of legislation passed during the 2009 Legislative Session, a personal finance education course will be offered to all high school students in the fall of 2010. The Invest North Dakota Teachers Academy is an excellent training program in preparation for this educational requirement. In addition, participants who complete the requirements may earn two (2) graduate credits of continuing education from NDSU, UND or MiSU at no cost to you.

Participants are required to attend all sessions and complete an evaluation and report in order to complete the requirements for credit. A $50.00 nonrefundable registration fee is required at the time of registration. REGISTER BY JUNE 1, 2010 AND PAY $40. All other expenses including: college recording fees, seminar materials, dormitory lodging and the majority of your meals are covered through sponsorship by the North Dakota Securities Department's Investor Education Fund and funded, in part, by a grant from the Investor Protection Trust.

INVEST NORTH DAKOTA 2010 will be held July 19-23, 2010 at the University of Mary in Bismarck, North Dakota. Enrollment is limited to 150 teachers with a deadline for registration of July 9, 2010.
