Over the next few days, we will be celebrating the achievements of educators during the challenging 2020-2021 school year!
Today's post focuses on teacher participation in our one hour workshops, a.k.a. Virtual PD sessions.
Later this week, we will highlight teachers who completed all 10 of the NGPF Certification courses and completed large numbers of On-Demand modules. We are consistently inspired by your dedication!
Believe it or not, during the 2020-2021 NGPF Academy year, teachers participated in 770 Virtual PD sessions! Our Virtual PD workshops are interactive, 1-hour workshops in which teachers can collaborate with peers, dive deeper into content, and pick up activities to bring back to their students.
Topics include:
NGPF Academy recognizes and rewards educators who participate in NGPF professional development. Teachers track their hours on their My NGPF Academy portal on the NGPF website and earn NGPF swag and gift cards as their credit hours accumulate. Participate in your first NGPF virtual PD, complete an On-Demand module or crush and NGPF Certification Course and you are automatically signed up for the Academy.
Congratulations to the top 50 teachers with the most NGPF Virtual PD hours during the 2020-2021 Academy year. Thank you for your commitment to professional development and continuing to hone your craft:
