Which teachers completed the most On-Demand modules in the past school year? 

This week, we are celebrating the achievements of educators during the 2024-2025 school year with the annual NGPF Extra Mile Awards. Nearly 7,000 educators invested their time and effort participating in NGPF PD last year. The NGPF team thanks you for your commitment to financial education and for all of you who "went the extra mile." 

About NGPF On-Demand Modules

NGPF On-Demand was introduced in January 2021 as a flexible way to accommodate your busy schedules. It has grown to a library of nearly 60 modules to deepen your content knowledge at your own pace. 

In total, educators earned more than 17,556 PD credits via NGPF On-Demand modules in the 2025-26 NGPF Academy year. 

The NGPF Academy recognizes and rewards educators who participate in NGPF professional development. Teachers earn achievements as their credit hours accumulate. You are automatically enrolled in the NGPF Academy when you participate in any of our PD offerings.
