We have a full slate of LIVE professional development opportunities this week for teachers! Only 1 week remaining in NGPF Academy's Third Quarter so be sure to sign-up for Virtual PDs or complete On-Demand modules on your own schedule. 

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!"

On Monday, Brian is hosting a PD on how you can build a Career Connections Program at your school. What's a Career Connections Program? Learn more about it through this video!
