Grab Your NGPF Passport & Join the Summer PD Challenge

This summer, your passport won’t just take you to the beach or the mountains, it’ll take you straight into a new year of PD, engagement, and personal finance knowledge.

Welcome to the NGPF Summer Passport Challenge! From July 1 to September 30, we’re inviting you to complete just 3 hours of NGPF professional development: any format, any topic, any schedule. Simple as that!

And yes, you’ll get a digital passport stamp to prove it. Because let’s be real… who doesn’t love a little flair on their PD record?

Why Join the Summer Passport Challenge?

 
  • It’s easy. Attend three 1-hour Virtual PDs, complete a Certification module, or mix and match. All hours count.

  • It’s flexible. Whether you're a morning person, night owl, live learner, or self-pacer, there’s a PD option for you.

  • It’s fun. You’ll earn an official Summer 2025 Passport Stamp to add to your NGPF Academy dashboard.

 

FOMO Alert: Did You See Last Year’s Badges?

Teachers loved collecting last year’s limited-edition badges and the 2024–25 Extra Mile Awards wrap-up showed it. From the Back-to-School Bonus to the Winter Break Challenge, thousands of teachers built their badge collections all year long. Check out the full badge blog post and see what you missed... then make sure you don’t miss out this time.


So, Ready to Get Started?

Start with a morning Virtual PD, explore the Starter Pack, or sign up for a Certification Course, whatever fits your summer schedule.

You’ve got 3 months, endless PD choices, and one limited edition summer stamp waiting for you. Let this be the summer you relax and level up.
