NGPF On-Demand is a professional development opportunity that allows teachers to deepen their content knowledge on their own schedule and at their own pace.

One of the 23 modules available is “Renters Insurance”. This module reviews how renters insurance works and why it’s essential coverage for young adults. 

Here are some highlights from the module: 

• Compare average renters insurance rates across all 50 states:

• Use an interactive from AllState titled “What’s Your Stuff Worth?” to calculate an approximate total cost of your possessions and how much it would cost to insure those items. 
• Review a renter’s insurance agreement and develop ideas for the classroom.
