Collaboration Series is a weekly blog post that will highlight implementation ideas of various NGPF resources, strategies to engage your students in a Zoom world, and other useful teacher tips shared by teachers in recent Virtual PD sessions.

This module will teach you about the importance of habits, provide an understanding of how habits form, and concludes with you identifying a habit you wish to change or start. Engaging videos, podcasts, and articles will guide you through this process.

Here is what teachers are saying about NGPF On-Demand:

• "I took the in-person PD and this On-Demand and I learned more the second time!"
• "This format is really good.  I like the fact that it is more self-paced.  I listened to many of the audio clips multiple times."
• "I have absolutely loved the On-Demand options. They work perfectly to complete during my planning period. The NGPF VPD's have been a huge blessing for me this year. I have learned and gained so much insight to better myself as an educator."
