Taking Stock in Your Future

Search Education programs:Search

The Taking Stock in Your Future program was developed to give grades 4-12 teachers the tools and resources they need to teach financial literacy.

The Taking Stock in Your Future Guides was developed by the Investor Education Fund and the Toronto Stock Exchange in collaboration with the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education/University of Toronto. The Taking Stock guides and Fair Play are co-curricular, classroom ready and approved by Curriculum Services Canada.

Examples of IEF resource correlations to the curriculum

"Taking Stock is an excellent resource! Activities can easily be adapted to fit the learning requirements and modified rates of learning for the students. The students like the activities, they enjoy the topics. A Tale of Twins covers a variety of expectations and is meaningful to the students; the Broom Hilda cartoon is another favourite."
