In the 2024-25 NGPF Academy year,  we launched Achievements, digital badges for reaching certain PD milestones in NGPF Academy. Each quarter, limited edition badges were released for a total of 10 over the year, including conference badges. Out of the nearly 5,500 educators who participated in NGPF PD this year, six managed to collect every limited edition badge. See who has the ultimate showcase to continuous learning.

When you visit your My NGPF Academy page, you’ll see a new section with digital badges you can earn (or may have already earned) so you can track your progress and learning.

Congratulations to the six educators who earned every limited edition badge!
