About This Virtual PD: 

NGPF Speaker Series: After 20 years in banking, Chad Mallo made a career leap that surprised everyone—including himself. Now Pasco County's 2024 CTE Teacher of the Year, he brings real-world financial experience into his entrepreneurship and personal finance classroom at Angeline Academy of Innovation. In this candid conversation, Chad will share what it's really like to transition from the corporate world to the classroom, the banking lessons that translate best for students, and how he built meaningful relationships with teens so quickly (he won Teacher of the Year in his first year at Angeline). Perfect for teachers considering career transitions or anyone who wants to hear from someone who recently figured out how to make financial education stick with high schoolers.
