Explore Classroom Halloween Ideas in Virtual PD This Week

Halloween is coming soon and NGPF has the perfect PD opportunity to explore activities and ideas to bring some spooky activities to your personal finance classroom! And don't miss this week's Speaker Series with Cara Macksound of Money Habitudes. Cara was an ETF trader for 12 years and, at the time, was the youngest female to earn a trading seat on the floor of the NYSE. She'll share about the fascinating intersection of financial education, psychology, and practical tools for engaging students in meaningful conversations about money.

Additionally, learn about NEW interactive resources that you can use immediately in the classroom as well as the math involved in credit cards, loans, and debt repayment.
