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!"!
• "I am absolutely inspired...I am more prepared to teach my students in the fall."
• "Each time I join the sessions, I come away with new knowledge, insights and ideas on how to use this information with my students."

We have a special Speaker Series event on Cryptocurrencies coming up this Thursday at 1pm Pacific Time. NGPF co-founder Tim will be joined by Brooke Pollack of Hutt Capital as well as computer science instructor Tammy Andrew (Milford High School, NH) to help make sense of cryptocurrencies and talk about tips on explaining it to your students.
