Celebrate with Us: Milestone 500K PD Hours Completed!
Incredible news! As of November 2024, teachers in the NGPF community collectively participated in 500,000—yes, half a million hours—of professional development with us. To cap off the year and celebrate the major milestone, we're holding a $500 Amazon gift card raffle. Read on for details.
A huge thank you goes out to the 19,320 dedicated educators who made this milestone possible. That’s more than 57 years of learning!

To celebrate your commitment, every educator who has completed a PD session since we started tracking in 2017 will receive a 500K digital badge in your My NGPF Academy page to commemorate this achievement.

$500 for 500K
To cap off the year and celebrate the major milestone, we're holding a $500 Amazon gift card raffle. Each hour of PD completed between Nov. 7 and Dec. 31 earns you an entry in the drawing.
