Episode 35 The Art of Teaching Business podcast!
In this episode of The Art of Teaching Business, I sit down with Jenny Miller at State College Area High School to explore one of the most impressive investing programs I’ve ever seen. Her students manage a real investment portfolio with REAL MONEY through the Little Lion Fund, gaining true fiduciary responsibility and hands-on financial experience. From sector managers and analysts to accountants and marketing leaders, students operate like a professional investment firm. We discuss how this passion project navigated legal hurdles, built community partnerships, and created powerful experiential learning. This episode is a masterclass in authentic financial education. Kudos to you Mrs. Miller and your fine students!
