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!"!
• "I am absolutely inspired...I am more prepared to teach my students in the fall."
• "Each time I join the sessions, I come away with new knowledge, insights and ideas on how to use this information with my students."

We have a full slate of professional development opportunities this week for teachers! If you are interested in learning more about advocacy, be sure to attend Monday's teacher panel!

On the subject of teacher panels, the NGPF Speaker Series has three more teacher entrepreneurs sharing their side hustles on Thursday at 5pm PT.
