With so many resources packed into the NGPF website, even seasoned teachers sometimes miss features that can make planning and teaching easier. Below are six often-overlooked tools you may not have discovered yet.

1. Tech-Free Resources List

A list of all the activities you can complete with students without classroom internet or devices, sorted by unit. This is linked to at the bottom of your “My Account” page.

2. Allow List of Links

Why is this educational site blocked by my school network?! We've all had that frustrating moment in our classrooms.

NGPF's expert curriculum team vets all third party links for age appropriateness, reading level, and factual accuracy, packaging all included third party URLs in a convenient Allow List.

How to find NGPF's Allow List:

• Get NGPF's updated Allow List on the NGPF Support Page OR
• Request the allow list by emailing info@ngpf.org with the subject “Allow list.”

3. Crosswalks for Curriculum Mapping

Trying to match NGPF lessons to your state standards? Our crosswalks align NGPF’s semester course lessons to your state’s personal finance standards. We currently have 26 states plus the National Standards with more in the works.

Find your state crosswalk on the Semester Course page under Course Materials.
