March is fully here, an extra hour of sunlight and all; but so is your final stretch to earn the Winter PD Passport. The deadline is March 31, and with a handful of sessions still on the calendar, there is plenty of time to earn it.

Haven't started yet? No worries, it's a lot easier than you think.

How to Earn the Winter Passport

The Winter PD Passport is a trifecta achievement in your NGPF Academy. Complete all three between January 1 and March 31, 2026:

One On-Demand Module One Virtual PD Session One Speaker Series Event

That's it. Three sessions, one badge, and a wealth of knowledge to bring into your classroom.

Upcoming Speaker Series Events

Our remaining Speaker Series event before the deadline is one you won't want to miss:

• NGPF Speaker Series: Stephen Day on Making Personal Finance Fun and Hands-On (Thu, Mar 26, 4:00pm PT) — Get inspired by an educator who has made it his mission to bring energy and engagement into the personal finance classroom.

Upcoming Virtual PD Sessions

There are several Virtual PD sessions still on the calendar before March 31. Here are just a couple to invite you to:

• Personal Finance on Social Media: Women Creators to Know (Tue, Mar 17, 3:00pm PT) — Explore milestones in women's history, legislation, and women creators to know.
• 5 Favorite Insurance Unit Resources (Wed, Mar 25, 4:00pm PT) — Get familiar with 5 of our favorite resources and activities within the Insurance unit.

Still Need Your On-Demand Module?

The On-Demand Library is available anytime, anywhere, at your pace. Whether you have 60 minutes on a Sunday or a free period on a Tuesday, you can explore topics ranging from Building Credit to Disability Insurance to Emerging Trends in Teen Finance and allow you complete your passport.

Finish What You Started

The Winter PD Passport was designed to mix up how you learn: connecting you to live sessions, expert speakers, and flexible self-paced modules. If you have already completed one or two of the three requirements, you are so close!

Check your NGPF Academy dashboard to see where you stand, then lock in your remaining sessions before March 31.

See you at PD!
