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!"!
• "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."

A reminder that the second pilot period of NGPF On-Demand closes at 11:59 Pacific Time on January 4th! Be sure to check out the four modules that are designed to build your knowledge on FinTech, Current Events, Mutual Funds & Index Funds, and Renters Insurance.
