Which On-Demand Module Should You Complete Next?

The NGPF team is working in-person this week! Therefore, there are no live Virtual PD sessions scheduled. This is the perfect week to complete an NGPF On-Demand module.

 

NGPF On-Demand is PD at your own pace. We have over 50 modules to choose from, each taking approximately one hour to complete. Plus, with the 2023-2024 Academy year ending on June 30th, this is a great way to accumulate additional credits to help you reach the next Academy level!

 

So, which module should you complete next? Here are some suggestions. 

New to using NGPF?

Beginner Series: Navigating the NGPF Website is the perfect place to start! You will learn tips & tricks to navigate the NGPF website like a pro and find helpful teaching resources.


Looking to brush up on key content?

The NGPF Starter Pack, made up of 12 On-Demand modules covering core personal finance topics, is a great way to build or refresh fundamental content knowledge.


Wondering what is most popular?

Here are the top 3 On-Demand modules (based on completion):

  • The Power of Habit: Learn about the importance of habits and proven methods to change or create new habits
  • $7.25 - The Minimum Wage: Learn about minimum wage - who sets it, who earns it, and what's the impact of keeping it at $7.25 versus raising it higher
  • Building Credit: Learn about the different credit scoring models and credit-building tips for teens

 


Interested in Amanda's recommendations? 

  • Build & Manage Credit is the perfect brush up on key vocabulary and how your FICO credit score is calculated. This module also includes great analogies to help teach this complex topic to students in a creative way! 
  • With a large percentage of young adults getting financial advice from social media platforms, TikTok & Investing explores types of content posted on TikTok plus ways the app targets younger generations. 
  • If you are looking to incorporate more algebra & math concepts into your personal finance course, Practical Tips for Implementing Financial Algebra is definitely one to explore! 

 

NGPF Virtual PD sessions will be back next week! Sign up for an upcoming session here.
