NGPF is excited to announce that our partnership with Nearpod has expanded! Now you can find NGPF's 9 WK course in Nearpod's library just in time for you to celebrate Financial Literacy Month with your students. Nearpod is an interactive instructional platform that gives educators real-time insights into student learning and NGPF uses the platform to facilitate our virtual professional development as well as provide our lessons. 

Building on an existing partnership through which NGPF lessons on Nearpod have been accessed by students over four million times, the new lessons coming to Nearpod cover taxes, checking, savings, paying for college, types of credit, managing credit, investing, insurance and budgeting in a nine-week course. “The evidence for incorporating financial literacy into secondary education classrooms is clear, and we’re proud to expand the Next Gen content on our platform,” shared Pep Carerra, CEO of Nearpod. “Most importantly, we’re proud that this robust curriculum will be available for free on our platform. We believe that all students deserve access to this life-changing curriculum, and we’re excited to empower educators with engaging content that will have lasting impacts on their students’ lives.”
