Successfully implement personal finance education by partnering with NGPF

NGPF is a nonprofit and was fully funded for a decade by a dedicated endowment, which allowed us to offer all resources and PD for free from the start.

As we’ve expanded our support for school districts, philanthropic funding now supplements the endowment to help us expand our impact.

Yes. Our high school personal finance courses cover the National Standards for Personal Finance Education, and we have created state crosswalks that show exactly how our Semester Course lessons and supplemental activities align with your state’s standards.

Yes. Many of the activities and assessments for our Semester Course materials are translated into Spanish, as well as the entire Middle School Course.

We also offer a Spanish video series and a Personal Finance Dictionary available in both English and Spanish to support multilingual learners.

Yes, NGPF provides Google Slides for all lessons in the Semester Course, and many lessons also include Nearpod versions.

Both formats give teachers flexible options for delivering content in their classrooms. Google Slides are easy to customize and integrate with Google Classroom and can be downloaded as pdfs, while Nearpods offer interactive features like embedded questions, polls, and student-paced activities.

Our resources are intended for teachers to deliver to students. Only teachers are able to create accounts.

Students do not create accounts with NGPF, and as such, districts have typically not needed NGPF to sign data privacy agreements (DPAs).

Because we don’t have student accounts, we do not offer SSO.

Districts often add a tile as a bookmark to ngpf.org in portals like Clever or ClassLink.

NGPF’s resources are built in the Google Suite, which makes it easy for us to keep them updated and for teachers to customize. NGPF is flexible and works well with any system, including Microsoft.

The materials can be loaded into any LMS your district uses. Our personal finance Semester Course is ready to use in Canvas Commons.

Lessons include links to articles, videos, and NGPF Arcade games. For smooth access, you can share this URL allow list with your IT team.

We offer a range of professional development opportunities through the NGPF Academy, including comprehensive Certification Courses, live Virtual PD sessions, asynchronous On-Demand modules, Virtual Conferences, and in-person FinCamps.

These options let educators learn at their own pace and choose what best fits their schedule and experience level.

If you would like to explore additional PD opportunities for your school or district, reach out to the NGPF Partnerships team. We are happy to help you find the best fit for your teachers and implementation goals.

Teachers receive a certificate of completion for every NGPF professional development session they finish, and they also have access to a full transcript of all the PD they’ve completed. They can submit these documents to receive in-service points in many districts.

No, the units and lessons can be reordered, and we have many supplemental resources that can be added to the existing curriculum.

Check out our Questions of the Day, Arcade games, and FinCap Friday videos. We also provide suggestions for how to augment or adapt the existing lessons in our lesson guides.

NGPF is committed to making our resources accessible to all learners.

Our platform is evaluated against WCAG 2.1 and Section 508 standards using both automated tools and manual testing with screen readers and keyboard navigation. Key features include responsive design, keyboard accessibility for core functions, video captions, podcast transcripts, and consistent navigation throughout the site.

We also leverage Google Suite’s built-in accessibility features for our lesson materials.

We are continuing to improve in areas like alt text coverage, arcade game keyboard navigation, and captions for all video content. For full details, view our Accessibility Conformance Report.
