Dear Oklahoma High School Teacher:
The Oklahoma Securities Commission and the University of Oklahoma Outreach are pleased to offer an exceptional
opportunity for free professional development training through the Invest Ed® Teacher Institutes. The Teacher Institute is designed
to equip educators to teach investing for the long term, making sound financial choices, and raising securities fraud awareness.
Training in Invest Ed® STARS (Students Tracking and Researching the Stock Market), an online portfolio project, is included. The
State Department of Education recognizes Invest Ed® STARS as a resource for HB 1476. Invest Ed® STARS aligns with Oklahoma’s PASS
