Collaborate with Educators At NGPF Professional Development This Week (January 11-14)
Happy New Year! We have a full slate of LIVE! professional development opportunities this week for teachers!
Here's what teachers are saying about our Virtual PDs:
- "Honestly, these sessions have all been amazing! I have used so much due to the PDs!"!
- "Each time I join the sessions, I come away with new knowledge, insights, and ideas on how to use this information with my students."
- "I liked the facilitator modeling ways to teach virtually as well as suggestions from other motivated teachers!"
Did you know your school can qualify for a $10,000 Gold Standard Challenge grant by adopting a gold standard personal finance class?
