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 full slate of professional development opportunities this week for teachers! Each will help you earn credit towards the NGPF Academy. Also, be sure to join us for NGPF's Virtual Conference Making FinLit Relevant: Meeting Students Where They Are on Saturday!
