Happy New Year! We have a full slate of LIVE! professional development opportunities this week for teachers!

Here's what teachers are saying about our Virtual PDs:

• "Honestly, these sessions have all been amazing! I have used so much due to the PDs!"!
• "Each time I join the sessions, I come away with new knowledge, insights, and ideas on how to use this information with my students."
• "I liked the facilitator modeling ways to teach virtually as well as suggestions from other motivated teachers!"

Did you know your school can qualify for a $10,000 Gold Standard Challenge grant by adopting a gold standard personal finance class?
