Note: The pilot period of NGPF On-Demand has closed.

Although there are no NGPF Virtual PDs this week, you can continue earning Academy credits through NGPF On-Demand! We are offering 4 modules to build content knowledge in: Investing, Paying for College, Credit, and Behavioral Finance. Each self-paced module is designed to be completed in 45-60 minutes and you will earn 1 Academy credit per module you complete! Here's what teachers are saying about our On-Demand Modules: 

• "I thought it was the perfect balance of content, reflection, and review. It fits within a one-hour time frame and I left learning great content."
• "I see myself using a mix of PD opportunities moving forward because sometimes you need the ability to work at your own pace and the collab boards give you the opportunity to feel connected even though you are working solo. I enjoyed checking it out!"
• "It was a wonderful independent learning experience... I can now even complete these during a prep period at school."
• "More, more, more! I could take breaks when I was interrupted and I didn't miss anything! I could take this and do this at home with my kids. Pause when I need to, and not miss anything!"
