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 NGPF Academy. Be sure to check out our new PD: Podcast as a Teaching Tool on Monday led by co-founder and NGPF Podcast host Tim!
